J’ai vu ça sur Instagram aujourd’hui. Il ne s’agit pas de l’histoire mais de Kypreos en général. Pour ceux d’entre nous qui connaissent nos beat reporters, Kypreos est-il fiable ou non ?

Kypreos has been generally not right on a lot of stuff. But I’d probably believe that the price is tough for moving Kadri. He has a lot of term left so it’s just going to be harder.
Are we holding ourselves back by retaining? I feel like we’re one of the teams with better cap space due to our young roster.
I don’t consider Kypreos a reliable insider. For me its always Elliotte Friedman.
Also if Frank Seravalli comes up with something plan for the exact opposite so I guess in a way he’s kind of reliable too lol
He isn’t Friedman levels of accuracy, but he isn’t Seravelli either.
Somewhere in the middle I guess.
No
He hasn’t really said anything. Can’t judge his accuracy until he makes an actual call.
The issue with Kadri is you either have to trade him without retention or get a return that justifies that level of retention. Those options might not be there right now.
I think we should keep him he’s one of our only super stars!
I had seen on barn burner dreger saying he believes kadri will be traded before the deadline. Dreger is one that I believe more then most
There is no pressure to drop the price especially now that he is producing points again. The center market is slim and him and Trocheck are the only two guys out there that might actually move the needle for the usual late first/prospect/piece package, anyone else decent who is younger or with more term will cost twice that. The flames should get that and if they don’t… who cares. Use the retention slot to move Coleman and trade Kadri later with the two retention slots opening up next year.
But a late first a B prospect and a younger roster throw in for a 60 point a year center with 3 years of term left being too expensive? That sounds like it came from Treliving the dunce wizard himself.
I don’t really rate Kypreos very highly as an insider anyway
Maybe they should have traded him last year when the return would have been even better as it would have been easy to retain
Kypreos isn’t generally very reliable. That said hes not a total fraud, so he hears it from somewhere and says its.
I think it makes sense he hasn’t been moved yet because of the issue of price.
I haven’t been too anxious about it. It seems likely to me that the market might get a bit more interesting closer to the deadline — I assume that not everyone is going to come out of the Olympics at 100% health, which may get some more teams in a buying mood.
In his time here, I grew to like Kadri a lot, but at the end of the day, while I’m happy he was here, I hope they take what they can get for him… he’s just not going to be a part of this team’s future success.
We would definitely get more of a return retaining Kadris contract over Colemans, but i think there are teams, like Montreal Carolina Detroit, that want him and have the cap space to take on his full contract. Whereas the teams that Coleman would go to, like Tampa and Dallas, would need the retention to make it work. I think this is gonna come down to the wire, with a long look at the offers on the table…
Honestly I’m not expecting a huge return for any of our remaining vets. The benefit of moving them is to tank, and so that we aren’t holding the bag when they lose all their value.
Kypreos is as reliable as it is enjoyable to be kicked in the balls
