Toronto Maple Leafs: Could Nazem Kadri be Traded?
In summary, a self professed 43 fan who defended him in the Carlyle days, offers these reasons to move him:
- weak on D, deep at C
- need to improve D
- Nylander could shift over to play 3C and replace him
- Leafs would still be significantly strong up the middle
- long term deal to Nylander better served as a C vs winger
- Brown wasted on 4th line and could shift up the roster with Kadri’s move
- Kadri “ok” at shut down but wouldn’t make sense to line match and shut down opponents #1 line when AM line and JT line will dominate.
- 43’s trade value never higher based on his age, contract and lack of 2C/high end 3C’s in the market.
- Would fetch big return
Good read. It’s a nice situation to be in.
