Had my druthers on Klingberg to start the season, But he's starting to gel with the gang. Was laying the body on a few guys the other night.

Man, if he can play any kind of defence with that offensive side I'll be

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

Thank (frank) it doesn't appear to be as serious as it could've been.

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?
- AdamFrench

I notice you’re not answering my question.

Also, it’s not a winger’s job to prop up a line, that belongs to the C so Kadri has more work.

Also Huberdeau has 3 whole points more than Kadri yet him being signed til he’s 38 at $10.5 mill a year is okay 👍

Nobody talked about trading for Huberdeau and his bad deal. The talk was about trading Marner and other pieces for Kadri and his terrible deal.

I did answer your question. Huberdeau is a PPG Hart nominated winger who had 85 assists in a season. If Kadri is driving the line, he sucks. They've been terrible. If a guy with 2 less assists in one season than Kadri's career high in points can't work with him, why even take on a 33 year old in a trade? They should both molder in Calgary and give Scabeh and the Canadiens their next 1st overall pick.

Because (frank) the Flames

Huberdeau's contract won't age well but his track record as a high-end point producer is way bigger than Kadri's. Nazem is pretty much a career 55ish points guy except his big year in Colorado and he's not at 33 years old.... it's not gonna get better.

Same, dude.

The way he was holding his shoulder and how much pain he looked to be in, I thought for sure his shoulder was (frank)ed and he'd be out a minimum of close to a month.

If he's still hurting though, I hope they sit him a game for extra rest.

Whoa, lets calm down a bit there.

Only one team in Alberta wins the 1OA pick.

Fun fact: I always thought Tavares was waaaaaay older than Kadri.

He's 16 days older.

Yeah (frank) them lol

My question was who his linemates were btw

But who the (frank) cares lol they’re both on terrible deals, all I think is by the end Kadri’s won’t seem too bad unless there’s another cap rise freezing window of time lol

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.
- Dozzer

he's the 3rd line C

koodo's cellular customer support suck more than Habs.

All fair… I just think Kadri’s looks worse now than it will be the end.

It will still look bad, just not horrible kind of thing

laffs would’ve beaten smashville if dufuss had held onto the oh’really(?) factor 🤦🏿‍♂️

jus sayin’…🤔

what a (frank)ing joke 🤦🏿‍♂️

edit:nice alliteration 👍
- Skalapy

ROR did not want any part of the laffs so this is a mute point

I didn't think it needed more context
- AdamFrench

I’m not the quickest man I’m not sure what you were getting at?

If it is the ‘he’s not worth it thing’ I say $7M with the cap going up (especially if Marner was the guy moved) for a centre that will move to 2C next year with JT maybe slowing down that provides what he does for $7M is good to me personally.

Tavares and Kadri are the same age but Tavares is WAYYYY better. Even if JT slows down and sees his salary drop a few millions, he's a better investment.

turn up the volume then

he's the 3rd line C
- drexel

Admittedly missed the game last night so I based my thoughts of asking a guy like him to do those actions on a top line and continue to have high expectations as a foolish thing to do. (Just thought daily faceoff was up to date, my apologies)

However him on a third line and still expecting top 6 production is even more unfair, who were his wingers?

Gio made $6.75 mill til he was 38 and nobody seems to female dog about that

It’s a possible thing for a contract like that to work

Huderdoh and Corronato
- drexel

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!
- jribout

Correct. I don’t look at contracts and stats like you would. I see the value add throughout the discreet areas of the game in different situation of the game. I see a win now team that would improve substantially with him down the middle right now compared to what the have.

The contract ageing and how that starts looking is hopefully after a Cup and it’s a GM issue. GMs have made worse contracts disappear before and they will continue to take on ones that will be bad down the road if it helps win now. Always have alway will.

Man me typing eh really upsets you that much? I try not to and even my folks, buddys, and wife get at me for doing it - in a more affable way. It’s just who I am man. I type how I talk you know. Like you said I played - I didn’t just play EA and dream. I didn’t finish much school as a result. Even with that I’m smart enough to realize how odd it is that you are trying to insult me by pointing out I played high level hockey in a hockey site.

I don’t check my grammar or my spelling and I say things like eh man. I’m not adjusting for you my man so I would just skip by posts eh

- Scabeh

Tavares is a better offensive player all day I agree man. I still think Kadri would be a huge asset to the Buds right now and for at least a couple more at that cost.
