Kadri thinks he can be as good as Tavares.

So do Leafs fans.

So I guess when "Tavares gets traded to the Leafs", they'll have two!

Kadri may play a style like JT, but he'll never be that good.

Not only does it now seem like Gormley would come cheaper, it's probably more likely that Tippett would move him before Stone. I just don't see that deal being built around Wideman. I do have a sinking suspicion that Baertschi is going to be moved sooner rather than later, and even though the 'Yotes have solid young forwards like Domi and Perlini in the pipeline, they could definitely use a guy like Sven, who is NHL-ready, tons of potential, has rounded out his game, and could probably benefit from a change of scenery.. I think ARZ still makes a good trade partner regardless..

..but I created this thread to discuss Wideman; if I could wager vCash with my fellow HF'ers, I'd be willing to bet that he extends his goal-scoring streak to 4 games vs his (most recent) former team.. Lol call it a hunch

Hmm you were right.

They should get him anyways. Then let Ho-Sang develop into another Kadri and put all three on a line.

he never actually said that, but hey don't let facts disrupt your narrative!

(Per Fan960), If Wideman scores tonight, he ties the franchise record of 5 consecutive goal by a defenseman, held by Gary Suter.

“I think talent-wise there’s not too much difference, to be honest,†Kadri said. “Johnny’s a guy that works hard and that’s something he’s learned from Day 1, so I’m getting my work ethic going and doing everything I can to be one of those players.â€

But having seen Tavares work up close and shared in collective success back with the Knights, Kadri believes that gap isn’t as wide today as some might think.

This is the article I was referencing. This is a Flames board, if my taking a joking shot at a player from another team offended you, then I'm sorry. And while I wasn't being completely serious, it's not as if I just made that statement up, so thanks.

Lay off the guy. He saw your avatar and assumed you were a Leafs fan

Wow, that's actually pretty cool. I hope he pots one in then. I'm always for tying/breaking records, regardless of who the player or team is.

Good point

Pretty crazy considering his start this year.

Wow, could you imagine with guys like MacInnis, Housley, Phaneuf and even Brodano if Wideman would be the one to tie (or even break) that record? Lol lord knows the Habs will be going to every length to prevent it from happening tonight.

Streaks like these are exciting. I remember I kept cheering for Glencross to score when he scored like 8 or 9 in a row not too long ago...

That was fun. Then he took a game misconduct 5 minutes into the game to end it.

The neat thing then was that Iggy was also on a streak about two game behind him at the same time.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Huselius had some nice streaks back then. He was fun to watch until Keenan came aboard.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Anyone remember riding the Donovan wave? That was fun!

So yeah.... Wideman. Kind of weird how he went from supervillain to superhero in a week or so.

You either die a villian, or live long enough to see yourself become the hero.

I just want to say I was calling it as it was right when I saw his game picking up and people were ******** on him in the GDTs because they just wanted to believe he was a bad player.

I was ******** on him because I saw systematic flaws in the way he was playing.

He has since addressed them a little bit, though.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Wideman was bad player those games. He is picking it up now.

 

[CraigsList]

Wideman's offense was always there, it was just his awful defense at the beginning of the season. Definitely playing solid, especially being paired with Russell.

 

[Lunatik]

I always had his back.
