Someone who is not in the NHL has no right saying he is not tough to play against.
As for this deal, it is a perfect contract for a deadline deal to a contender and I would almost assure you that's why it is for 1 year. Get a first for him at the deadline regardless of his success this season. If he blows up, get more for him, if he busts, get minimum first rounder and Shanny can blame it on Kadri not being in the right system, proper support, whatever. Someone will want him and at the deadline and no huge contract lingering makes him the perfect deadline acquisition.

By the same token, someone who is not in the NHL has no right to say he IS tough to play against.
Such a empty, ridiculous argument.
