Hoping at some point the Kadri deal can right itself through a value deal once a year or two pass by and his contract becomes reasonable, but we're stuck with Huberdeau for eternity. And if you hear the "insiders" talk that's the contract that is holding up ownership from a full rebuild. I don't agree with ownerships logic if that's the situation but man, nothing was good from the start with what they were trying to do with signing vets to 8 year deals. Could've been much worse if they didn't get lucky from situations changing while those offers were out there.

There is just nothing to support that silliness.
I'm good with not liking moves he made (especially if you were not onside when it went down), but the screwing the team over stuff is just complete nonsense.
