The team looks to be plenty bad enough already. And while you might wish he was gone 4 years from now when you're competitive again, it seems early to be worried about that.
$1-$2M in retention is likely a giant "meh" over the span of the next 5 years. If we're talking full-load (50%) then yeah, it gets a bit more serious as $3.5M isn't super light...but in years 3-5 of the Kadri deal, that $3.5M would effectively be....3.5% of the salary cap in those years. So, not much.
