That’s an overpay for Merzlinkins tbh, that being said I wouldn’t move Merzlinkins if I were Jarmo.

Kadri is not the center the Jackets need. They need a long term answer and Jarmo isn’t going to move Elvis for a center that doesn’t make this team better

He does move Elvis for him. I agree he isn’t a number one. He’s a good number 2. And if Elvis fetches him then we’re definitely taking that.

I'd go for that. Kadri isn't a long-term solution, but he'd be great for sheltering the projects we have.

Certainly not the worst I've seen overall though I'd say it's an overpay by the Avs. Pretty sure the plan will be to keep Grubauer and Kadri and shelter Newhook but definitely not a bad plan B. Credit for trying something different. I would still expect Graves to get taken in the expansion over Donskoi (though JD has been very good of late) and Jost's contract is a little high. I'd also expect Makar to be a little less but if it ties him up long term I'm not averse.
