That contract value has Buyer Beware flashing all over it for me.
He simply doesn't have the history to dictate that price for that term, IMO.

I could see the Sabres take a run at a guy like that.

Maybe keep it to 3 years if possible, 3 x 5 million?

Hopefully he can continue to be productive. His game isn’t the heavy type that takes a hard toll on the body. It should be interesting to see how this team progresses.

He's also one of the best skaters in the league which should help lengthen his career. Even when he loses a step, his edge work and control will still be elite.

Speak of the devil. Cozens had a goal for Canada. 1 - 1

Cozens and Krebs going to take that next step next year.

Cozens, Kadri and Tuch. A line that could play any style against line and still be productive. That's a playoff line.

Good post.
7 x $8.5m for a guy who will be 32 on opening day is a bit long for me though.

KA has to make him an offer though. Maybe 4 x $9 and some incentives.
Would be fun to watch.

Kadri's 2nd most predicted deal (30%) is $7M per for 3 years.

That would be a terrible idea. Remember he is basically on an all star team offensively. So his numbers on the avs vs the Sabres. We would see a drop off

Cozens is a 50-60 point guy. That would be my ideal goal for him

Krebs. We shall see. He reminds of of briere

"Flyer" might be a better term as It would be a crap shoot as to what ya get with him going forward.
I'd rather pay Campbell that kind of coinage.
At least he has a bit of a track record and played on a team that wasn't as committed to defense as Husso's Blues team is.

Maybe Adam's is prepared to roll the dice with him, but that doesn't seem to be his style IMO.

Hypothetically, skinner could learn to skate better, I've been told. Easiest thing to learn at the nhl level.

I expect 30+ from Skinner next season
Tage I see at 75 - 85 points and getting better all season long. That's probably way more optimistic on him than most, but I'm sold with him.

Everyone else though...yeah it's a crapshoot still.

I can come to terms with slow playing the forwards, but he needs to make a considerable move in net. You help develop the forwards and defenmen when they know they have legit goaltending behind them.
- lacaprup

Fair enough

The answers will come in time
That's why I don't understand the rush
Goalie yes go get the guy
Grudbranson for 2 years sure
Let's see on the forwards

Done.
Offer him $8.5m for 3 to get him.
I wanted him here when TO was going to move him.

Wonder if the proximity to Toronto would help kadri choose buffalo?

Guys that want to be here

That 38 points is the only number you mentioned that really matters. Maybe he's a top 6 guy in the 23 season or the 24 season, but he's not a lock. He has to learn to finish on NHL goalies. His 8.1 shooting % needs to go up significantly if he's going to be a top 6 player.

Or his wingers being able to take advantage of his possession entries and play making ability leading to more assists.

Points are an end result of positive impacts, his impacts suggest points will come if he continues on the trajectory he is on

Sweet Jesus on a pogo stick, there is no apostophe in the name "Kevyn Adams".

Please only use it after his name if describing something he possesses, as in "I like Adams' use of Tage at center", for example.

Nobody would ever refer to Jesu's Christ, so why use it on a hockey GM?
