This is the absolute best time to trade an aging player. This is also another reason why you shouldn't give no trade clauses to retirement contracts. Save those for players like Parekh and Wolf.
In a year or two he's going to have negative value, eh? Says who? You? People love to criticize aging players, but Kadri has never had a bad year in the NHL. He's one of the most consistent players, much like Pavelski and Duchene.

I am not going to piss him off and ask him to waive his NMC when he deserves it. If we are bad after the 25/26 season then you'll get your wish, because he then only has a 13 team NTC.
