Yeah if he cannot figure that out. Apparently playing high level puck doesn't give you an advantage when it comes to figuring out what a bad contract is Eh!

That contract was bad the moment it was signed and everyone knew it.

This is a lesson for all you kids out there - if you are going to have one outlier year in terms of points production, make sure you do it in a contract year and win the Stanley Cup.

Being investigated.

Watching the video cant figure why his leg was swung up like that at all, losing balance or no. Looked really odd and messed.

Nazem Kadri signed a 7 year, $49,000,000 contract with the Calgary Flames on Aug. 18, 2022. The contract has a cap hit of $7,000,000.

Nazem Kadri was

Yeah and Kadri will be 39

Could very well be a 4th liner at that point.

basically a David kämpf but worse defensively at 7M. Woooo

This is pretty good from LA Chargers media team.

Carolina does a bit of it but it would be funny if more teams did this.

At this rate I am not sure if a team even takes him at 50% retained.

Maybe a team takes a shot, but a team like TB or PIT who know they are going to be the Sharks of the league by that time.

Min salary by then will be roughly $950K + which makes his $7 mill like the end of a current $5 mill salary tops by then

Safe bet it’s nothing more than a slumping slow start. I know you guys give excuses for other players when that happens so maybe you should try to think one up for him too

You mean he should be at a 100P pace with Huberdeau and Coronato as linemates? How is it that I didn’t see that? *shakes head*

What was his excuse every year other than 2021/2022?

He's been one of the most consistent players in the league. Love him as a rat 2nd liner centre, but he's 33 with one of the worst contracts in the NHL.

I’d say any team losing 3 of their top 7 D men is an achilles heel tbh.

Very nice to see Liljegren on the ice for practice though

- Dozzer

I'll say.

Been a real bright spot on our D this year. And only getting better.

On another note, it looks like Gio's been drinking from the youth fountain. Who would have thought.
Hearing he toned his weight down this past summer.

Playing as a top line C with poop wingers.

He has to face the opposition’s top defensive talent and he’s to blame for not overcoming this? It’s management’s fault for not creating a team where he is the 2nd line guy, in which case he’s paid just fine.

If he didn’t get this offer he would have left the team to go to a better one for less money for a better competitive chance and/or a nicer place to live.

Name his linemates for each year you bring up please and thanks and I’ll decide if I’ll even take this point seriously.

Dear Wedgie,

I did not enjoy the snow as I was not truly prepared for it and it was a complete mess finding the snow clothes in a hurry only to realize my son grew too much and he needs a new coat, new pants, new boots.

God dammit we went from summer straight to winter and it's not the way it's supposed to be.

Dog was super happy though.

Your friend,

Scabeh

Got the dang stuff here today too. So yesterday, I put the snow tires on . Made a run to Costco this morning.
First time in a while, I actually got ahead of the eight ball

It wasn’t til the end of the year that it started to show, they’ll still need to rest him here and there, when they are able to anyways.

You listed Huberdeau as his linemate and he literally has more points this year as well...? I don't get it. Are you saying Huberdeau sucks? He was a record breaking Hart candidate winger two years ago and the only difference is that...Kadri is amazing, but just doesn't gel with him or that Barkov is Gretzky?
