WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Kadri's AAV is $4.5M and Rielly's is $5M. Both 6 year deals.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Guessing a cap-hit of $5mil for each.

 

[Deebo]

Wow, did not expect it to happen this early.

 

[bustaheims]

Well, I guess Kadri's probably not being traded then. ;D

 

[Kaberle15]

Lou dosen't waste any time, eh ?

no word on value of each deal ?

 

[bustaheims]

Guessing a cap-hit of $5mil for each.

Yeah. I'm expecting somewhere in the $5M-$5.5M range.

 

[Bullfrog]

Very happy about that. Good to get it out of the way to minimize distractions. I wonder how much influence Babcock had?

 

[Boston Leaf]

I guess the Kadri love fest by Babcock and co was sincere

A six-year deal buys up two of Morgan Rielly's potential UFA years and four of Nazem Kadri's.

 

[Boston Leaf]

Is it true Kadri 6.9 AV a year?  :-\

 

[herman]

5.5 (or less!) would be excellent.

Edit: slightly surprised we didn't wait until at least the draft lottery result.

Any dollar figures you're hearing right now are speculation. No one with any credibility has said anything about dollars yet.

@3rdPeriodSuits

?Is Nazem Kadri a Mike Babcock player??

Glenn Healy: ?No. Every player that he praises, pack your bags."

Considering the term and value, and the performance of both over the last season while still potential of more to come (especially from Rielly), and with a stronger supporting cast to come, I think those are very good deals for all concerned.

 

[AvroArrow]

Wow, 4.5 for Kadri.  That should make him pretty valuable on the trade market. 

Even though I wanted Kadri to be traded, I'm happy to have him, especially at that cap hit.

And 5 for Reilly - nice!
