It's DOCTOR Holliday for you, Cairo!
Sure, Kadri has struggled also. But he wasn't the 3rd-overall pick. Throughout the season and playoffs, most of the Mtl media agreed with me, by the way. Much more was expected from Galchenyuk at this point in his career. He's no longer a rookie, he's been in the league for 3 seasons and hasn't progressed much. In other words: HE SUCKS!!!!
At least Kadri isn't owned by the Russian mafia.
As i was saying....Kadri wasn't a 3rd overall pick. I also have never been big on Kadri & would have preferred that the Leafs drafted a Christian hockey player. But at least they didn't draft a fucking Russian. And again, Galchenyuk was a 3rd overall pick and much more is expected for a third-overall pick, especially after 3 years in the league. At least Kadri isn't owned by the Russian mafia.

Having Markov, Emelin and Galchenyuk (though born in the U.S.) should make Semin more comfortable due to the fact
that no one spoke Russian in Carolina.
I see nothing wrong with Kadri's salary.
I say just move the Mtl Canadians to the KHL.
I see nothing wrong with Kadri's salary, obviously Shanny and Company see something in him to give him a raise and he did improve his overall game last season and became a more defensively sound Centre, something they specifically asked of him. I am anxious to see how he does under the guidance of MISTER Babcock as well as MISTER Lou Lam.
Galyenchuck got similiar money to what Kadri made in his second contract putting up similiar numbers but not being defensively sound, now he is more so. Galyenchuck will likely make 4-5 mil after this 2 yr bridge contract if he puts up 40-50 points like what is expected of him. Will he ever be a ppg guy? Time will tell but i doubt it, not in Montreal anyways.
Nice article on Kadri's salary compared to others with the same type of skills.

Doc, now you owe me $50 and i think that makes us even. If not i will see you next week brother and we will go get a steak and a stella artois.
I say just move the Mtl Canadians to the KHL then all four of them will never be homesick again, problem solved.
The article is for leaf fans to consume.
The article is 100% factual and correct, if it bothers you so much that you have to "TRY" to falsely justify it then try doing something else, oh i dont know maybe like posting something to actually help the community like a review maybe?
I didn't want to ruffle your feathers but you may not have noticed but there was a leaf logo
at the top of the article and I found it rather bias, in that, it was justifying the contract.
I can see that it sure convinced you. Not me. Bad contract.
ROFL! Good contract, or should i say "fair" contract, it can become good or great depending on next season and having MISTER Babcock to mentor Nazem. It could turn out well or not, who knows? Now how about a review, buddy?
ps.....No worries bro, I never have my feathers ruffled about anything in cyberspace, Especially over sports, but i see others do
