Some people definitely do. I had a Habs fan friend of mine suggest someone would go 7 years on Kadri because, he said, he's only 26 - until I pointed out that he'll be 32 to start the 22/23 season.

They are stoked here in Ottawa. I've decided today is my last day listening to the Team 1200. They called Leaf fans "mid" today on the way home. I just dislike the whole hate the Leafs first, love the Sens second mentality so I'll get my hockey insights from somewhere else now.
Actually bummed.

Ah, don't worry. I'll come here to get my hockey news. I don't need to listen to the team 1200.
I mean, on my way home I was just thinking to myself that these two radio hosts are in the middle of summer trying to bait Leaf fans into calling their show just to drum up controversy. They are masters at it.
Do I really need to listen to two master baiters get off on putting down the fans of the Leafs because they are feeling pumped over the week that the team they cheer for has managed to put together? No, no I don't. I can listen to something else.
Oh wait, you meant the Dylan Strome thing. Yeah that sucks too. I was hoping he'd sign with the Leafs.

Admittedly, he has two 30-goal seasons before this year's breakout, but, ya, I'm pretty sure this year is an anomaly. That said, I'm comfortable he's got a few more 60-70 pt seasons in him. Combined with his feistiness and defensive play, he's definitely valuable and deserves to get paid.
I'd love to have him back, but it's not happening.

Maybe. This was also only his 2nd 60+ point season (3rd, if you want to include his pace from the 12/13 lockout shortened season). You can count on him for a 20+ goal, 50+ point performance for a few more years, but more than that would be a bonus.
I mean I?m not sure I agree with any part of that point.
4 years ago if the leafs could have traded kadri straight up for Tavares they would have in a heartbeat. And the isles would have flat out said no.
If kadri was under contract right now and you could trade Tavares straight up for kadri to bring him to the leafs I would absolutely not make that trade.
That?s just me, but I can?t say I agree with you on that assessment.

Yeah, I'm with you and Joe on this too.
Just that I always thought Kadri could have been a viable replacement for Tavares if need be (when he was slotted as the #3 centre behind him; ie. in case of injury).
And a part of it is my concern that Tavares may start to slow down, quicker than Kadri will. But certainly some recency bias is factoring in.
