Injury Report: Tyler Bozak - Oblique Strain - Update Dec 6: Placed on LTIR

[The Caveman]

would put Kadri in the #3 spot. Back to basics. Holland has earned his spot. When Bollland gets back see where we stand. We need a fourth line that can play more than 4 min a game.

This is Kadri's 2nd year. He is not ready for #1. Nothing wrong with that.

Kadri should also not take advice from Leafs Mgt and just go back to training with Gary Roberts. He doesn't seem as quick this year or as good laterally. The Belza effect.

Kadri will be fine, if he can win back his spot with Lupul from Holland when Bozak comes back. This is not a shoe in with the way Holland is playing.

trade kadri to calgary for giordano

Maybe.. but most players have 2nd year slumps.. I remember that Duschene really sucked year #2. Kadri has a whole career ahead of him.. let him grow into being a solid #1 or #2..

is that legit?
someone told him not to train with Roberts?

The Leafs told him not to train with Roberts after he came to Marlies camp last year out of shape according to Eakins. He spent the first 1/2 of the year with the Marlies, where Belza would have had input on training, then went to the Leafs once the lock-out ended.

Yep, true, Kadri was encouraged to train with Belza.

Considering he was in contract negotiations, I commend him for being an organizational guy by not rocking the boat. But Roberts training was so positive in his breakout year, I think it was a mistake. He still has the vision, the hands, but he looks slower and not as slippery as last year. And this was his strength, he was very elusive. Now he almost moves like Luke Schenn after the Belza effect.

 

[Byron Bitz]

we really need bozak back. Our current centre group just simply isn't good enough, especially on draws

Belza should be fired. They should hire Roberts. Not sure if Roberts would want to be the trainer but Belza sucks.
