No matter what you won't convince me that Kadri with 4+ years left has more value than a similar player that isn't locked in until 38. Term on players in their mid 30s decreases value...its not even really debatable

Generally id agree with you But 33 year old UFAs don't usually get the return Nelson just did either.
2 hours ago if somebody proposed 1st + Ritchie for Nelson I would have laughed at them for being an Isles homer.
If you would have proposed Ritchie + 1st for Kadri yesterday I would have laughed at that too as a ridiculous proposal.
But now that a deal was actually made you have to at least wonder if maybe there was a chance it could have been on the table.
In the end if Kadri isn't available because he won't waive his NTC for Colorado then that's fine, but TBH I have a hard time seeing him say no if Mackinnon picked up the phone and said "come play here again and let's try to win a second cup"
