Leaf Fan Till I Die
strong praise, but everyone please keep a level headed view on this kid. He's still growing into the game
“Seeing the highlights of Nazem scoring his hat trick against the Islanders made me smile,†the New Jersey Devils coach said in a phone interview this weekend.
And, in the process, reminded DeBoer of some of the characteristics he feels Kadri shares with former Maple Leafs great Doug Gilmour.
Heavy praises but I still hope people temper the expectation. I've been a fan for a long time but still just don't want the useless ragging, although I know it'll come, go rampant after all the praises.
Yeah, I have the same feeling.
You don't need to tank to win Cups.
Look at the Leafs, they have JvR, Kessel, Lupul, Kadri, Gardiner, Phaneuf, Rielly etc they're all first round picks... so it's not like the Leafs are build around UFA's.
All I know is that Kadri, Gardiner and Rielly are going to be a treat to watch for another decade.
Lightning have Stamkos and yet they're no closer to the Cup than we are, Tavares is stuck in NYI (I hope they continue sucking, and we pick up the pace, so he signs with us).
Tavares is UFA in our centennial year
Here's some beauties:
Nazem Kadri VS Roman Horak

Nazem Kadri VS Jordan Caron

Not just first rounders, those are all top-10 picks(minus Gardiner). We definitely have the skill and talent. Now just a few tweaks here and there, some playoff experience and I think next season we can be one of the top teams in the conference.Yeah, I have the same feeling.

This was by far the best
Nazem Kadri vs. Silfverberg

Wouldn't mind seeing the Kadri thread, when he was drafted, posted here in its entirety, to get a few laughs.
What an enjoyable read, I highly recommend it. Where did all those experts go?

solid pick by Burke - a guy with the numbers to match guys like Duchene and Schenn (numbers which indicate he was probably a little underrated), and with a very nice all-around game to boot.
Would have rather moved up, but I like this pick over guys like Cowen and MSP without a doubt.
I would have killed someone if we had picked Cowen.
Best attempt at Kadri devaluation has to be the notion that Kadri=Rob Schremp.
If you look around you'll see some pretty ridiculous stuff. Few years back, some Oilers posters tried to convince me that Cogliano>Kessel.
pats self on back
Let's hope we can sign Kadri, I wouldn't blame him if he wanted out with the 3 years of treatment he got here under Ron Wilson, and Burke's reluctance to bring him up and back his coach.
It's a new regime, new faces, hopefully he will be a Leaf for his entire career.
