How do you figure? He saw a giant pin and a weasel take a shot at Marner's head. He took exception and retaliated for Marner. That was for the team. You can say it was overboard and ultimately hurt the team but you can't say it was for himself.
More on point, I like Kadri, I see the argument for him being captain. In my opinion he should be an "A". To be honest, I don't know if the team will give him that even.
Spoken like someone who has actually played the game. Someone took a liberty on Marner so Kadri responded. The suspension was excessive and you can’t let people take liberties on your young stars.
Kadri is going to absolutely feast this year as a 3rd liner. He is extremely difficult to play against, and can play the shut down role very well. He really has turned into a good pro, who has become very consistent and brings an honest effort every night. He is going to be a major X factor this year and a matchup nightmare.
If I were picking this is what I would set up:
Tavares- C
Kadri- A
Marleau- A
Reilly- A
Matthews gets A when Marleau moves on. Without a doubt Tavares gets the C.
