[QUOTE="torontoeers, post: 129241568, member: 1621210"] The deal with Kadri is...whether they like to admit it or not they really didn't want to take him at the draft from what I know...Burke was trying to do a deal with Ottawa (Murray) to drop down in the draft , Murray wasn't biting and they elected to take 'the best available player', I believe at the time the question surrounded his attitude. If you watch him in interviews post game etc he comes across as the snot nosed punk. His act appears to be wearing thin...he has actually improved his play in the second half of this season to the point of actually being a plus player and somewhat D responsible. I think there will be teams that have significant interest this summer, regardless of the latest developments. I think they may need to arrange a sign/trade scenario to make it happen though as he is an RFA...I would NOT want to see him as a Pen...but then again he wouldn't get away with his current act in our locker room imo....there is more than one who would knock him down a peg...
