2022 Free Agency; starts Wednesday, July 13

[Tjay]

With a couple of teams bidding for him, I'd say he gets $8 to $8.5M per season.

That would make him a hard pass for me. Really disappointed we didn't make the scoring winger a higher priority.

[Tjay]

We are getting ahead of ourselves. We have no idea what the contract will look like. After he did not sign the first day or 2 of free agency, it is possible he is going to sign a 1 or 2 year cheaper deal and then try again when the cap goes up.

I do not see it being likely that we give him 6 or 7 years, or $7 or $8 million. Clearly no one else did.

I think the fact that he's still out there only hurts his bargaining position.

[Tjay]

No way would he sign a 1 or 2 year deal. That would be insane of him. He is 32 years old and any decent agent is going to tell him that the likelihood that he has tapped out of his maximum production this past season is super likely. He'd be a dumbass if he did that.

And apparently there are still 3 teams being very interested in him. Detroit being another one and they have a lot of cap room.

You never know. Danton Heinen resigned with Pittsburgh for 1 million. The guy had 18 goals last season and makes less money than Ross Johnston. Sometimes, as rosters and money start to fill out, you've got to take what you can get. I want Kadri, but I'm not willing to break the bank for him.

[TK27]

Just remember if we do sign Kadri he has one thing in common with Isles fans. Both don't like Tavares. Naz was drafted 7th and Tavares went first but don't forget what happened in junior? While Tavares was breaking all Gretzky's scoring records and was knighted the 1st overall pick long before his draft year. Tavares was a deadline deal in his last season and got sent to London Knights. Naz already being there with the number 91. Everyone thought Kadri would let Tavares wear his 91 but Naz said no. LOL

Plus he was sent away from the Leafs to make room once again for Tavares. So Kadri has that going for him

Looks like we've signed Kadri for 7 years....

Come join us in the Offseason thread. We've been discussing it there. What's your thoughts on it?

[TK27]

We are in the middle of the dog days of summer. In 2 weeks the excitement can start to build again

[TK27]

I would be happy with 7x7 for Kadri. Anything higher sucks but that may be the price of business.

I'd be even happier if they announced it

Sounds like one of the top UFAs of this summer, Nazem Kadri, is finally getting off the market

If we go into this season with the same roster as last season then I cant say I'm optimistic.
