Who is it that you do like?

Seriously, it seems with all you poo- pooing, that you would say no to a McDavid for Nylander trade.

His production is decreasing each year, but still put up 44 pts...although 2 previous years were mid60's and mid-50's.
Could he be a short-term solution at 2C for 1 or 2 years? Could he get back to mid-50's with more ice time in that role?
Maybe, and at $4.5m it would be a bargain....plus the term remaining is ideal.
He is a lucky k head though, I will give you that...but maybe all the commotion will turn these soft players in some guys with balls.

If they could land him on the cheap, I say do it and deal with his lunk-headedness.

If Kadri is our 2nd line center we are in worse shape then I thought.

he did that when their roster was worse

put him on our second line with casey and nylander


get a 3rd line center to go with olofsson and tage

Why do I get the feeling that if the Sabres acquired Kadri, he wouldn't be happy about it at all?

He'd probably actually love still being in the division

I'm not convinced that once he's away from being sheltered behind 2 other centers that he'd look that great.

Also, what's up with the o-zone starts this year? 62%

Wasn't he their 3C?

Anyway, what's your offer for him, Risto? Nah
- jcragcrumple

Kadri was better before JT got to toronto.

Very effective 2C

Definitely on my "eich snipes" fantasy team for a victory last year

Who's the guy who tweeted a picture out the hotel window saying buffalo was a bad place?

Does it really matter if we're getting 32 goal Kadri or 23 goal Kadri?

He brings things we're sorely lacking.

For some reason, no one recognizes that the Sabres are super soft and need some guys with backbone.

Guys that are hard to play against

Kadri fits that to a tee.

I imagine other teams are lining up:
Former 30 plus goal scorer
Tough
Good contract

It's not gonna be easy. I see Winnipeg getting involved for a defenseman. Toronto then regretting it

He still had better wingers than what he's gonna have here.

It comes down to price for me. If it's similar to what homie and ion said, sure sign me up. I would not be down to trade Risto for him. Firstly, i don't want to help the Leafs at a position of need. Secondly, it doesn't make sense for us to get older. And if we're trying to get tougher, it's a lateral move.

So for some mid-round picks and castaway guys, sure, I'm in

Joffrey Lupul, I think.

Didn't see the hit until this morning. That should have been a 2 minute penalty, nothing more. Gallant said the explanation he got was that it was a crosscheck to the face. It absolutely wasn't. Vegas got screwed here.

cant give up 4 goals in 5 minutes...

They don't give up 4 goals in 5 minutes if 4 of them are 5-on-5 like they should have been. That said, you're right, great teams figure out a way to overcome that.

Shouldn't have been a 5, for sure. But they had a 3-1 series lead and couldn't close it out in the other 2 games, and they a 3-0 lead in this game. It's a bad call, yes, but they bear some responsibility for the collapse. Bad calls happen, and a 3-0 lead should have been good enough to escape a 5 min PP

80 goals in the last 3 years . more golas then John jack

You guys are crazy, kadri is gonna take a montour type trade from a 3rd party to acquire.

The st loius pick 1st and nylander ++

From a team out west. In a Hoffman type flip.

Kadri is an nhl center. And a good one. They are not cheap. See ror

Maybe a curse brewing in vegas?

When the knights were up 3-0 the announcer says "wow ,the knights are about to win 4 out of their 1st 5 playoff series"

Little Joe curse?

Luck runs out

Dobber won't let me update the line combos from 17-18, but i believe he spent a lot of time with Marner, who then played with JT when JT came over this year. Regardless of who we get, they won't be as good as Marner, and I believe a good portion of his statistical success from last year could probably be traced to that pairing.

I'm not saying he sucks, I'm just suggesting we temper our expectations

Never said I wanted Turris, just mentioned him.
