You almost never win UFA deals in general.
Now add cup winner and career year by almost double point production on a stacked Avs team.
I’d love Kadri on this team, wanted him before he vetoed the trade for Brodie.
But at age 31 he’s going to get a 5-7 year deal from someone at 8.5+ and that’s simply not worth it. 2 years from now that contract will cripple this franchise.
James Neal type move for whoever signs him. Maybe 1 more good year but he’s a career 57pt guy making 8.5? I’d rather spend the money on Mang tbh.
