Kadri seems like a pretty done deal, whether we like it or not. I’m choosing to be optimistic about the whole thing; Kadri, even when he regresses to the mean I think is an upgrade on Bailey for the next two seasons and he will likely still be playing with pretty quality linemates in Nelson and Palmieri (in this scenario). After that, I start to worry but if we win a Cup by 2024, it’s a risk I’ll take all day long.
There is a chance, of course, he’s the next Loui Eriksson and this whole thing massively blows up in our face from the word Go but I have feeling that’s not going to happen, at least right away.
Who’s got $9.15 million in cap space to spare for two middle six forwards though?
That could be a good option for us since we’re guaranteed to be getting a roster player (another defenseman?) back to offset some salary but I just don’t see the incentive for another team to do that

Bailey is a veteran. Lou likes veterans. Therefore in Lou’s mind Bailey must have value 😂😂😂
I’m debating making an ACGM based off this logic lol.
