Nazem "the Dream Beast" Kadri-7th-2009

[Mindrust]

Except being "snake-bitten" had very little to do with it. He was floating around waiting for the puck to come to him for the first month or so of the season, until he got "demoted" to the Komarov line. Whether it's the new linemates, or the chat with Shanahan or a mix of both, but it's like a switch finally clicked for him. At long last, Kadri's taken his first big step in his development. Hopefully it's the first of many. Kadri's had a great month of December, now he needs to find a way to bottle whatever he's got going in his head right now, and bring it on a consistent basis.

Umm no, sorry, but he was not "floating". I watched him well during the first month, and remember him playing some great hockey, creating so many chances, getting tons of shots in, etc. You're kidding yourself if you think he was slacking. He had maybe one or two bad games and that was it.

Kadri will probably center the first powerplay now that Randy is gone...That's been a head shaker over the years...Get Bozak the F off that PP!

Is Randy even incharge of special teams? Wasn't Spott making decisions?

Randy made all the decisions.

I'd be in favour of keeping Bozak on the #1 PP until it falters. But at the same time I feel Kadri is a more long-terms solution at C so maybe it does make sense to give him thosre reps.

One player I would remove from the #1 unit is Dion. He cannot move the puck well enough.

Time for someone with half a brain to figure out kadri is this teams best center, not an undrafted floater that's never reached 50 points

The more crap I hear the more I start to love Nazzy. He is blue and white thru and thru.

 

[WilliamNylander]

He's about to break out in a huge way.

Time to start giving Naz 20+ mins a game and see how it plays out
