He had 7 years, now it's basically 4

100% correct.
There is a caveat that I see, however. Sometimes an aging player suddenly falls off the cliff, and it is often happens to start the season. When that happens, Kadri will become a negative asset overnight. Will it be age 35? 37? Or will he be a player that sees a more gradual decline? That's the risk I see with Kadri, but I also do think that any team trying to win a cup this season who can use an upgrade in the #2 slot should be offering a package for Kadri.
