lol - I've been to Philly a few times, I don't think it's all that bad. I've never been to Detroit though.

Just stay away from West Philadelphia.

Someone should tell him how much money the Sens are losing before he signs.

I was hoping I wasn't go blind, I was like "Where is Mason Raymond's name?" as I was reading that article...

I think there are several factors:

1. Leafs are right up against the cap
2. They're worried Kadri might be a one-year wonder
3. They don't want to trade away Cody Franson to free up space to sign Kadri

Can't believe the Oilers didn't re-sign him, they might have a softer team than Calgary.

seriously how does it become a distraction in an off season?

The guy should sign a two-year bridge contract (like PK Subban did with the Habs) and then cash in when the cap is higher and other players have moved on.

It's distracting him from hanging out in the hookah bar.

The Montreal Canadiens have reached an agreement in principle with free agent defenceman Douglas Murray on a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. The 33-year-old Swede split last season between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring one goal and adding five assists in 43 games.

Waiting for a mid-season, waiver eligible offer sheeeeeet by Feaster perhaps.

Seriously though, I wonder what kind of offer would make the Leafs walk away from given their self-imposed cap stress.

Might be interesting for a team looking for an offensive centre with many good years to come.
