Kadri's potential

[Durrr]

Sens fan here (not hostile) Just wondering what you guys think he'l become , personally I see him as a sam ganger type elite second line centre. Also if you were to trade him at this point what would you want in return(any team)

Ganger has never cracked 50 points on a run and gun style team that has had to try and outscore its problems for years. He's played, what 5 season in the nhl?

This isn't a hostile comment at all but Kadri's potential at this moment is monumentally higher then Ganger's.

 

[SensfaninToronto*]

Elite playmaking center that can also score 25-30 goals. His potential is through the roof, it's up to Nazem to have the commitment to reaching it. Players with that package of skill and grit don't come along often. I think he'll end up being a consistent 70 point guy who has his up and down years.

those are some high expectations i'd say 20-25 goals and 30-35 assists is a little more down to earth

 

[Mimico]

Not many players out there have more pure talent than Kadri. When he first made the team, I was shocked to see him struggle. Last year he finally put everything together at the NHL level and his success has so far carried into this season. I can see him as a first line center in the near future but in all likeliness he tops out as a quality 2C.

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

A more physical Mike Ribeiro.

And that's not meant as an insult, whatsoever.

Yeah maybe more of a goal scorer and less of a playmaker than Riberio

But good comparison

He'l never reach it under Carlyle

Potential and what he'll actually achieve are two different things. Clearly he can potentially score more than 20-25 goals. He scored almost 20 in half a season last year.

I remember hearing some rumours way back that burke was a racist he deserved to be playing way eariler

Love his game but what he did in that montreal boston series is inexcusable

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Uh...Burke drafted Kadri

Everyone thought we were drafting MPS or Cowen

 

[Hanta Yo]

Burke is such a racist that he drafted Kadri only so he could act out his racism in the form of keeping Kadri in the minors.

By that same thing JG Pageau has potential to be the next Bossy , but i don't see that happening anytime soon but its always good to dream

You missed the point entirely

I Lol'd , also i remember on draft day Leafs were looking at taking Cowen but then burke took kadri because murray had told him he wanted him . THESE ARE THE THINGS RIVALRIES ARE MADE OF

You went from tolerable to annoying in a matter of a few posts. Great job.

 

[SensfaninToronto*]

I got it don't worry , i just through in the whole pageau remark because thats what us Sens fans do

 

[Raging Bull]

Okay then I'll stick on the safe side and say Kadri can potentially score 44 points in 48 games.

Yeah because Perry or Gezlaf never reached their full potential under Carlyle right? You went from not hostile to troll in 1 page.

 

[SensfaninToronto*]

So does anyone know if Clarkson will start with Kadri , he's a good player but id rather see raymond

I think Ribeiro is a good comparison for Kadri. He's shifty, has sick hands, and will put up 60-70 points a year. Not quite a legit #1 Centre, but an EXTREMELY good 2nd line Centre, for sure. His 50 points in the last 54 games he's played seems to support this.

The Leafs are thin down the middle, so trading him makes no sense to me, as we really need him.

But if we already had a replacement for him at Centre? And just for the sake of discussing his value?

I'd need a top pairing D-Man in return for Kadri. Maybe not a team's BEST Defenceman, but their 2nd best guy.

A Yandle or a Seabrook or a Del Zotto or a Shattenkirk type.

 

[Duffman955]

#1C potential

Already playing like a great #2c.

Needs to control play better and manage the puck better in neutral zone to become a #1C.

 

[SensfaninToronto*]

Different players IMO Gezlaf >Kadri and that perry kid is just a whole different player then kadri so its a tough comparison. Both Ducks have a strong two way game

 

[Raging Bull]

Potentially Kadri can score hattricks against Ottawa. Potentially.

We have defencemen in the system, we have absolutely no near ready centers. Kadri doesn't go anywhere unless its a trade up for a C. End of story.

Behind the draft showed Leafs were taking Kadri. Burke being the nice guy that he is gave Murray a heads up to prepare for plan B.
