I am certainly no fan of the idea of Kadri but your take is skewed.

Having him in the 2 or 3 C hole while Backlund fills the other is incredible depth. Similar to Cros, Malkin and Jordan Staal. They're not nearly as talent as the pittsburgh trio but you get the meaning.
Then Ryan is wasted on the 4th line, you’re forced to move Jankowksi and Dube has no possibility of time at C. $4.5M is also added to the cap for the next 3 years. Can be better used elsewhere.
