couldn't you just trade kadri and a 3rd for those players instead of getting kerfoot back just to trade him off again ?

This is by far the stupidest moves I have ever seen. I don't know if you just hate Kadri or what, but why essentially give him away for nothing after we just traded for him?

And no, shorter term does not mean more money. It is just the opposite. Shorter term means less money in the NHL. This isn't MLB. And you don't want Mack and Mikko coming off the books the same year. It should be staggered so you only worry about negotiating with one each year.

The Brassard experiment was a failure. He isn't coming back.

About sums it up. I wasn't a fan of the Kadri trade. Still ain't but that is about the dumbest move I've seen on here.

Edit: Brassard was worse than a failure. He was abysmal! A brass post would have shown more!
