Regarding Kadri specifically...eh, I dunno. We needed a 2C to replace Carl, and I guess he's it. Tough to know what other options were out there.

A lot of the feedback I've been reading is that Dubas dry raped Sakic in this deal.
Basically, the Leafs downgrade their 3C but add a top RHD who has 50% of his salary retained by the trading team.
Kadri had a down year getting bumped down to 3C by Tavares, but, I'm sure he'll be a fine 2C for the Avs. Sad to see him go but the return seems like it's well worth it for the Leafs.
