I always bang this drum, but you just structure these deals so you can do a less painful buyout at the end.
I'd count Kadri's contract remaining as either a 3 year, 21 million or 4 year, 28 million. The last few years don't matter.
If you do the next 3 years:
23-24 - $7m
24-25 - $7m
25-26 - $7m
Buyout at 35
26-27 - $3.2m
27-28 - $2.2m
28-29 - $2.2m
29-30 - $2.2m
30-31 - $2.2m
31-32 - $2.2.m
If you keep him for 4 years - you end up with $2.3m for 4 years.
$2.2 million is the cost of Dan Vladar. By the time 2026 or 2027 comes around - it will be the cost of some guy like Mattias Janmark or Ryan Reaves type guy.
