Nazem Kadri said that “it’s not his job” to worry about the Toronto Maple Leafs’ salary cap situation on Tuesday. Saturday provides more evidence of that thought because if Sportsnet’s David Alter’s report is correct Kadri wants more than the Buds currently have.
Kadri’s camp reportedly began with a six-year $36 million proposal but knocked that price down $1 million per season to $30 million. Alter reports that the Maple Leafs trotted out a very different number: two years $6 million.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the two sides make some headway between today and training camp (if not the regular season) but this report indicates that they disagree both on term and salary.

Less than 24 hours after NY Rangers GM Glen Sather said that he's not interested in signing RFA Derek Stepan to a long term contract, comes news out of Toronto that Leafs RFA center Nazem Kadri is not intersted in signing a "bridge contract" like the one that Slats is hard-lining for.
Sportsnet's David Alter tweeted the following:

Average Leaf ticket cost $124.69 last season the highest in the NHL and latest price hike puts game tickets even further out of reach of regular folks.
The Leafs already have the highest ticket prices in the NHL and the price of ducats is about to go up again.

As a way to help out Leafs cap situation. Team Insists cap isn't the issue... More interested in lower bridge type deal for Kadri.

After having the final four years of a five-year, 27.5-million dollar contract with the Maple Leafs bought out almost immediately after their first round playoff loss Mikhail Grabovski became a free agent. Instead of joining in on the free agent frenzy, ‘Grabo’ took time to get married and enjoy his honeymoon… He came back to multiple contract offers, reportedly from the likes...

Despite a few past conflicts, Mikhail Grabovski's reputation with teammates on the ice is actually very positive.

The interview of Maple Leafs assistant coach Greg Cronin at MLHS was sort of fascinating. If it wasn't obvious before this summer, MLHS -- through their weirdly awesome access to a slew of Maple Leafs executives -- has exposed Toronto as a team that either puts on one hell of an act, or simply doesn't believe in what new-age statistics...

Mikhail Grabovski is a skate-and-shoot center who creates his own scoring opportunities.

He scored just nine goals added only seven assists with a minus-10 rating...

For the past couple of months, I've been keeping you updated on the RFA status of four young centers: Cody Hodgson, Derek Stepan, Nazem Kadri, and Adam Henrique.
Whats the hold up in re-signing these four dynamic players?
NY Rangers GM Glen Sather said Friday night that he will not be signing Stepan to a long term contract. Therefore, the player will have to accept his...
