I've said this before, but the team should taking the long view (which coincidentally, maximizes their assets) and shutting players down when this is the case.
You might not make the playoffs without broken Kadri playing (oh wait, we still didn't), but if you do, you're better off going into the playoffs with healthy Kadri than broken Kadri. It also gives a young kid a chance to contribute so you can see what they're made of - or for somebody to step up. Hopefully this changes under Conroy and Huska.
