Kadri's expires at the right time. Huberdeau's is two years too long and it'll hurt.
There was a global pandemic that caused the players to owe the owners a billion dollars, hence the flat cap for the last few years.

It’s not to say the cap doesn’t need to be managed, but we are rapidly approaching a point where the cap is going to be too high to get too ####ed up - they’re going to have to overpay guys just to reach the floor when it’s $85 or $90 million.
