The Maple Leafs would likely need to give up a bit more to convince the Flames to retain half of Kadri’s $7.0 million average annual value (AAV). The challenge for Calgary is that the contract still has four years remaining on his deal, which may mean that Toronto would need to consider taking either the entire contract or at least 85% ($5.95 million) of it per season. If that happens, they need to part with David Kampf and Connor Dewar, which would make up $3.58 million. Treliving and the Maple Leafs may also benefit from putting Nick Robertson in the deal, which would bring the cap space going to Calgary $4.5 million. Plus, they have Calle Jarnkrok and Max Pacioretty’s $2.9 million on LTIR, which they can use as open space, which brings their available cap space to $7.4 million.

Are you responding to someone or talking to yourself about a Kadri trade?

Seen a bit of Kadri talk around. What am I missing? I just don't see how it makes sense though.

McMann, Holmberg, Lorentz

Rielly, OEL
McCabe, Tanev
Benoit, Hakanpaa/Timmins

Stolarz
Woll

Hell ya! I'd go into the playoffs with that line up.

Depends on if you want the GS5 Rumor Chart Access plan

Gas, grass, or ass, nobody rides for free.

That Kadri contract is not gonna age well. He's 34 now and under contract until 38.

Everybody says JT is a washed geezer and they're the same age.

I'm sure Calgary wouldn't mind cutting bait, but they aren't taking a package of rejects if they have to retain significant salary for 4 more years.

Unload those guys you mentioned in seperate deals for picks and cheap prospects, and then splurge at the deadline on someone not past their prime with anger issues.

I don't see how 4 more years works if they want to sign Tavares, Marner, Knies...

I'm all out of gas

I always like Kadri but trading for him seems inadvisable and very unlikely to happen.

Ir doesnt at all.
They would need calgary to retain 35% and even then its not enough as he has 4 more years.
I think we have enough contracts that wont age well.

Or, perhaps they do retain because of the exact reasons you listed in your first couple paragraphs. 🤷
