So far Kadri hasn't been a bust, and especially this season, he is living up to his salary. How the contract ages is a concern and we'll have to wait and see about that. With Monahan, there was some concern about whether he would be a productive player ever again.
How that 1st rounder plays out is a huge difference maker though. I support the Kadri signing and moving Monahan, but not sure if it was worth a 1st rounder to do it. I also think Kadri has trade value, not likely a 1st round pick value, but positive trade value nonetheless.
