Said Leafs wanted him to wear #14, but he said out of respect for Keon, said he wanted to instead wear #93.

 

[pspot]

he admitted Kadri is already a better player then he ever was

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Leafs need to hire this guy in some capacity after his stint with Kingston is over next year. The guy is sharp, would be a great mentor for our young players.

Let's be honest Dougie hasn't had much success in Kingston as a Coach or GM.

c'mon.

I live in Kingston and I can safely tell you it likely isn't happening! Gilmour is not just the coach, he's also the GM as well as part owner of the Frontenacs, why would he give ALL that up to come to Toronto to take on a smaller role?

from the sounds of the interview it didn't sound like he thought he'd be back with the Fronts

 

[Deebo]

NHL vs. OHL is why he would give it up for a smaller role.

 

[Hero]

he admitted Kadri is already a better player then he ever was

Humble of him to say this, but no.

 

[Rielly Good]

I think he wants to do the same thing with the frontenacs that the hunters did with the knights. That's my guess

 

[daveleaf]

Kadri has better puck handling skills and shot but Gilmour is better at every other category. I think if Nazem continues to grow and wants to improve the sky is the limit for him.

 

[Derek Synak]

Kadri can be great, I like his tools, confidence and I love that he has some sand to his game...just the type player we've needed for a long time.

BTW Dougie never said Nazem was better than him.

 

[Kingstonian84*]

Kadri and Gilmour have some similarites! Both are small yet fiesty, both lack an NHL calibre shot but make up for it with elite stickhandling and passing abilities. However the big thing that separates the two is Gilmour was amazing defensively, there was a reason he won a selke, Kadri while decent in his own end he is no Gilmour.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

I miss Gilmour. LR/Hurt... bring Gilmour back...or else.

 

[blue82]

i remember when the leafs re-acquired gilmour..i had tickets for the first home game (against the islanders i think) and then bam he gets a career ending injury right before..that one hurt..i was so excited and looking forward to his return

It would have been a treat to see Gilmour playing with Kessel.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

Gilmour hasn't proven anything positive in terms of coaching OR management, in Kingston.

I love Dougie, but no thanks.

Maybe in a PR/Ambassador role, which he wouldn't do. Maybe in a scouting position, which is also unlikely.

 

[ECanuck]

he admitted Kadri is already a better player then he ever was

I love Kadri but he has a long ways of getting where Gilmour was. Also, not saying he can't get there but it takes a lot of hard work and determination.

It was against Calgary and Dave Lowry (who is now a NHL ref) was the player who gave him that injury.
