As reported by James Mirtle, [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and the [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have agreed on a one year contract worth $4.1 million.

This will give Kadri a salary for 2015-16 that is a hair under [Tyler Bozak's](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) $4.2 million AAV deal.

Last season, Kadri scored 18 goals and 21 assists in 73 games. Kadri missed games from a combination of minor injuries, and a four-game suspension for a headshot on the [Oilers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/edmonton-oilers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)' Matt Fraser.

At the expiration of this one year deal Kadri will still be a Restricted Free Agent (RFA) for two more seasons.

> Important note: Nazem Kadri is RFA in 2016-17 and 17-18 due to his late date of birth for signing purposes. [#leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/leafs?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

This contract will be pivotal in determining Kadri's future with the Maple Leafs. He will have to prove himself, once again, to a brand new coach and front office. He has the potential to be a star for the Leafs, but with a short deal that ends again as an RFA, he could be tantalizing trade bait for several teams at the 2016 trade deadline.

Kadri's future as a Leaf is as precarious now as it has been since his first NHL game in 2010.
