Bob McKenzie reporting that Kadri is seeking a multi-year contract worth $5.5M per year.
Kadri denies.
Gotta wonder if Kadri and his agent are on different pages.
One has to think that even if McKenzie's sources are exaggerating, the number must be with in a million of that. Also have to figure that Franson's camp is seeking similar cash.
So the leaves have just under $5M in cap space, and have two key pieces of last year's successful half season seeking a combined $9M.
C'mon MG, make a deal that free's up some space, then offer sheet Franson. When Nonis matches, because you know he won't want to lose either of these guys to Gillis, then offer sheet the other guy.
