Players who play his style also decline and drop very fast once they start going downhill. Look at Mike Richard's, he was a very good player and suddenly he turned 35 and he went from 1st liner to 3rd/4th line depth player very fast.
If you are being offered a 1st plus for a player who isn't going to be here by the time we are competitive, at the very least you have to ask him if he would move. If he says no that is fine, but you have to at least consider trading away your declining and aging assets while they still have value.

That’s fine and all but you actually have no idea if a conversation took place. If it did and Kadri said no then that’s going to be held pretty tightly.
