The reality is that no one has that kind of depth. No one. I'm not even one advocating to trade him, but it is not even allowable to say he's not playing well.They try to fill it the best way they can. The problem is that the Leafs have the depth, yet some fans would rather trade one of the best point producing third line centres and are happy replacing him with a downgrade. If we had centre depth in the minors that could play at an NHL level, then maybe they could think about trading Kadri.
Zaitsev had some really nice jump in his offensive game. He has Gardineritis at times defensively and polarized himself.
I don't think we had a great game going for some time now. Babcock was fighting with his assistant coach on the bench last night too. Did you see that yet??
Yeah fourth line was on pucks all night i agree
Your last sentence is difficult to understand.The reality is that no one has that kind of depth. No one. I'm not even one advocating to trade him, but it is not even allowable to say he's not playing well.
Zaitsev played one of his better games until he failed to box out Armia and then flipped the puck out of play.
This might be a bit harsh , but I think we have played about 8 complete games this year-still waiting for all to be on board at the same time.
Probably. lolYour last sentence is difficult to understand.
Last time i checked we are in a position of cap space. Don't forget to factor that in while you ate at it ok
What if I told you that you don't have to trade every player that might not be having their best season?
Fair enough.Probably. lol
I was saying that I don't advocate trading him, but people should be allowed to point out when Kadri isn't playing particularly well. Because here on this board, it's an absolute no-no to say that.
What if we introduced you to salary cap 2019-2020?
Which means that if we have to move $$$’s Kadri’s (declining) play really isn’t worth discussing. We may need to shave millions.
Target meet back.
If he earned more money, I have a feeling he would be performing better.
He's ok this year, but Oppie has a point. He's always had 35 goal 70 point potential but playing as a 45-50 point guy. He know's he's underpaid and is playing as a 4.5 million dollar guy rather then smashing through to his potential. That's just my opinion.
We all agree with that.In summary, hes a good player, but needs to pick it up...
Points is not a great way to measure Kadri effectiveness because he is so hot and cold.Kadri may be having an off year but he does all the little things right. He plays a 200 foot game. It would be nice to see him get a goal though every once in a while.
He has to be the most hot and cold player. When he gets going hes good than he disappears off the score sheet for the longest time. At least now the pressure is off him because JT and Matthews are doing the work so he doesnt have to worry as much.
Well, here's the thing. just because you say it and you believe it, doesn't make it true. That's how millenials believe the world works. There are facts and realities that can't be swept under the rug for the sake of opinion. The truth of the matter is, you are just plain wrong - the stats say it.
Go on the main board and try to trade Kadri for Couturier, and then come back here. Do it as a Flyers fan trying to trade Couturier even.
Not to sound negative, but why should he be commended for something that he is being paid handsomely to do? It happens all the time.Points is not a great way to measure Kadri effectiveness because he is so hot and cold.
Also, he has been asked to change his role on the team - which couldn't have been easy. He deserves a lot of credit for taking the lesser role without whining and complained while still working his *** off.

Well i would introduce Rosen and Sandin
I see plenty of options to meet the cap and keep everyone we want. Be up against the cap is perfectly acceptable for a single season i believe.
It's a valid question so I didn't take it as negative.Not to sound negative, but why should he be commended for something that he is being paid handsomely to do? It happens all the time.

You should be asking the other person that question. And I will say I'm not young.I'm curious, how old are you?
I'm glad too. He can be a huge cog in this. I was hoping he would be feasting on 3rd/4th line matchups. Hasn't happened yet, but there is still time.It's a valid question so I didn't take it as negative.
A lot of players don't handle it well. They demand to be traded or sulk. He hasn't. I give him credit.
