Value of: Nazem Kadri

[Gavy]

I don't think or want the leafs to trade him, but I'm curious what teams would offer for him.

26 year old coming off a 32 goal 61 pt year.
Great shutdown centre who matches up against teams best players.
Gritty player who steps his game up in physical games.

Signed for 5 more years at 4.5 million which is an absolute steal of a contract

Can he really be a great shut down centre but doesn't play any PK?

 

[seabass45]

He came up a couple of times in Isles threads (with other Leafs fans barging in being like NO ABSOLUTELY NOT) but anyway, Isles could offer something involving Hamonic or Pulock and probably add to that.

The Leafs were a top 10 PK. They don't need Kadri there. 5on5 he's excellent at shutting down other teams' top lines.

Top that off with the fact that his offense is needed on PP and even strength.

That's because there are no 30 goal gritty shutdown centermen signed for 5 years at 4.5 mil ever available. It's impossible to get them.

Kadri is worth a hell of alot more than any team is willing to offer. In a vacuum he should fetch a #1D signed to a similarly great contract. Anything less would be terrible

 

[Amadeus]

Not that he'd be available at all, but I'd be looking for a Roman Josi type return for Nazem.

Nashville won't do it though.

Since the whole game isn't played on the PK, then yes...yes he can be a great shut down centre.

Any teams offering a #1D signed long term? No?

Shut the thread down, I don't foresee any #1D signed long term being offered for Kadri.

 

[Kingspiracy]

The usual muzzin offer

Yes.

I don't know that he's "a great shut down centre" right now, maybe one day.

Not at all on the same level, value wise.

I don't know that he would get a #1D, let alone one on a great contract.

Great additions to the thread.

Maybe try suggesting something instead of just telling people they're wrong?

I agree, Josi's a stud.

lol beat me to it Muzzin for Kadri and 2 3rds it is

Roman Josi, a top 10 defenseman on maybe the best non entry level contract in the entire league. Of course they wouldn't do it.

I was thinking of you when i posted it, just waiting for your leaf friend now.

We are adding something to the thread, pointing out completely unrealistic requests.

Guy wants a #1D for Kadri

I want Matthews for Petan. Deal?

People need to be realistic or don't bother posting. Notice you didn't quote him your fellow Leaf fan.

got ya. But with bozak maybe gone in the off season they may need him to be on the PK. I'd like to see how he does there.

Thread asks what people would offer. All you're doing is saying " nu uh" and being dramatic

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Erik Johnson for Nazem Kadri.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

1st pairing dman is what I'd expect in a hypothetical Kadri deal. Ultimately seems like one of those "worth more than what other teams are willing to give up" type of players

 

[The Thin White Duke]

Why tire Kadri out when you can get a cheap 4th liner like Boyle to handle the PK just as effectively?

Faceoffs and size are more important on the PK than actual defensive skill if we're being honest here. You don't need a clean breakout or a good backchecker, you just need a guy who can lay a hit and slap the puck out without thinking.
