Has Nazem Kadri played his last game as a Maple Leaf

[viper0220]

Back to back years, he has been suspended in the playoffs, it is not going to help the team.

The Leafs also have cap issues and moving Kadri may make a lot of sense, so do you guys think that Kadri has played his last game as a Maple Leaf?

This is assuming the Leafs don't advance further into the playoffs and Kadri is ineligible to return for the playoffs.

If they lose the series, maybe. If they go on to win the cup and Kadri plays a big role, no.

 

[Golden Puppers]

If the right deal comes along for a defenseman, perhaps. But his contract and what he provides at that value makes him pretty valuable to the cap strapped leafs.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

It might be a good message to send to the locker room.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Last one this week.

 

[amnesiac]

no, he misses some games, but hes still a very effective player

 

[Seras]

No lol

 

[JaegerDice]

If the coach and/or GM decide that they simply can't TRUST him to actually be on the ice for key games because he can't control himself, then I could see them moving him.

In a vacuum they probably wouldn't, but given the cap pressure, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.

 

[RAB FERD]

He'll be back next round.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

NO

 

[Deuce Awesome]

NO

 

[jaric1862]

Absolutely not

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

he will play in round 2

 

[Blufreezy]

Was it Tom wilsons last game as a capital?

 

[NobleSix]

Probably not.

 

[rosscow]

No. End thread

 

[Tuggy]

If the Leafs lose this series, then yes.

 

[PhoenyX]

Yes.

The Leafs need to clear cap space and Kadri was always one of the likelier targets. This suspension just cements the fact that he's going to be a victim of the cap (it would be Marleau, but we all know he has a NMC).

 

[Lemontree]

It will be his last season. He will rejoin the team for round 2.

It might be a good message to send to the locker room.

His suspension brought a lot of attention to the way the Bruins were playing the series , tonight the refs were soft and calling things they didnt call in game 1 or 2. Leafs won off of powerplay goals.

There's no message to send to the locker room trading Kadri that would make them play better. Besides that stupid play, he was one of the best players on the ice and only one not afraid of them in game 2

Nope

Kadri the martyr

 

[HanSolo]

Obviously. Toronto needs to clear up room to sign Gusev and Panarin.

You have no idea what you are talking about. There is a 0% chance he gets traded. Kadri is at his lowest value, why in the would a GM like Dubas trade Kadri after a season plagued by low s%?

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

We will see. We lose to Boston. He may be gone. We win and he gets his stuff together in the next series, he might prove his worth.
