The quality of Wedgies surveys is really getting better going downhill.

I only know him from his days in Boston but the important thing to note here is PEOPLE CAN'T CHANGE OR GROW UP.
- TheMussel


I have to wonder if you don't hear about him being a little bumhole anymore because he's in Dallas or because he has matured.

I've been around him in Toronto a few times and he was a grade A Richardbag. Can really hockey though.

Serisouly?

His contract is the best on the team. You don't move Kadri, it would be so silly

- Santo_44


If his contract could be fit in as a 3rd C then that's great. If they need a couple mil in savings then he's expendable and would bring back a significant return. Improvements are a good thing.

Leafs aren't stupid enough to move Kadri. And for that, I sincerely thank them.
- UsernameUnknown

Not right now...of course not.
But

If they spend 11 mil on JT 11 on Matthews.....6 on Willie and Marner.

Who knows.

Do you think Freddie gets some rest this week? I hope so, he’s on the team I’m playing in my pool’s final

You aren't saving money trading Kadri

You are creating a hole in the team where you would need to look to fill that hole immediately after trading him. at 4.5 million you can't get a C even close to as good.

Bonino is making the same money ffs

The statement "he drinks" is a bit of an understatement.

And it's not just that he drinks...or how much he drinks...or how often he drinks...it's his actions during and afterwards.

Full Disclosure: these observations are from when he was a Bruin. As per my post above, I have no idea if he has cleaned up his act or not.

But at least a few years ago, it wasn't pretty.

Not if in 2 years you have someone cheaper who could the 3rd line role.

I dont think he is saying....trade Kadri now.....but if they sign JT, then Matthews, Marner, Nylander pays raises for other players etc....there's only so much money you can spend on the forwards.
Kadri is a great deal and great player right now for the leafs....but as with other teams...If JT signs.....some fav players could be moved out to reallocate money elsewhere.
Its not crazy to think a 3rd line center on a great contract could be moved in several years to get back pieces for another area.

It would be great to have Matthews, JR/Seguin and Kadri for the next 5 years.....but who knows.

You do if you get a good contract back that fills a hole.

I dont care what he does off the ice. And yes, when he was younger, into new money and just came off a cup win...he indulged and was a jerk. Happens all the time.
From all accounts he's currently a good teammate and great player.....whatever helps the leafs win a cup.

I'm facing him this week, too. And Matthews. My league isn't in the finals yet, though.

How man 2C's score 30 goals, great defensively, gritty, wins faceoffs?

Blah blah Malkin whatever. That's pretty much it.

You wanting an upgrade over Kadri is like Trump wanting to upgrade from Mexicans using Norwegians.. see where I'm going with this?
