I just don't get why so many people are on the "sign Kadri" train. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Almost 32 years old, coming off a freak season ... and being UFA, you have to overpay both in terms of AAV and term. I'd happily take Kadri on something like 4 x 5.5m or 6m, because that's closer to what he actually is ... but in UFA, that quickly becomes 6 x 7m, possibly even more. After seeing James Neal in Calgary, it just baffles me that so many on here seem to think this is a good idea.
