Is it that bad if its super bonus heavy in the front, and a small salary towards the back end?

Doesn't matter how its structured the cap hit still stays the same which is the important part or in this case the worst part

“I think (the #isles) put an offer on the table for Kadri. Other teams have told me they believe it’s in the 7x7 range.”

yesterday via TSN Radio:
Seven-year contract for Nazem Kadri with the #isles. They'll announce that soon... They pretty much have that set in, it's a formality from what I've heard. Just paperwork and making sure all the money, the dollars, and cents all fit...
- Vukota

Well that’s pretty much that then.

Cup this year or fücking bust.

Well the term sucks but I pretty much expected that. The rumors of him taking a 3 or 4 yr deal were completely stupid imo. I fully expect to be disappointed with his contract

I’m just hoping for three good years out of it

Agreed just gotta hope they win the cup within the next 3 years

3 good years 2 so so years and buyout 🤷🏼‍♂️

Only good thing about front loading the contract is he’ll get most of his money in the first 3-5 years and then hopefully retires and doesn’t mind walking away from a measly few million lol

I really hope he’s so so at 36/37.

I love how we're buying out the deal half a decade from now before it's even been announced

Fwiw, I’m told the deals for Noah Dobson and Alexander Romanov are done, just not filed yet. #isles

Same here but there is nothing else floating out there so I figured I would post it anyway

Sooo… you're saying Kadri might not be signed to a seven year deal?

I can't wait to see who he jettisons to make room for that deal

There are going to be some dark, dark seasons a few years down the road if that's true
- eichiefs9

Gonna have to make room to sign Barzal, Wally and Mayfield after this season. Unless they're traded of course.

2026-2031 is going to be 1996-2017 all over again

I don't see any way they sign him. He'll be priced out since he'll be a bottom pair guy here. He'll get paid top 4 by somebody

Or anyone connected to eyesonisles. He’s just rehashing what Pagnotta is saying
