Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CAR] TOR acquire F Alex Galchenyuk for F Yegor Korshkov and D David Warofsky

Can you imagine if we had Kadri? I'd place him ahead of Mikheyev, Vesey or Engvall.

Dubas had to move Kadris after his idiotic back to back suspensions. Anything short of a trade wouldn't humble him.

He was one of the few character guys on the team. A soldier. A point per game playoff performer now. That was one stupid move. On par with Steen trade. The only guy who fought back in Boston series.

And he ended up not even playing half of the games in those series as a result.

There is a difference between being edgy and being stupid. Kadri was being stupid. Those series were so razor thin that having him in the lineup for the full series rather than watching in the press box because he couldn't keep his head together could have very well been the difference for us... And just like we had to move on from Gardiner for making crippling defensive errors on a regular basis, we had to do the same thing with Kadri and his crippling errors.

Kadri felt he had to do something. He was lone ranger on that team and had no support. No thugs to do the job. Things escalated and he made mistakes. But he tried. He matured and now he is a successful playoff performer... with Colorado. And floater and renowned point hunter Rielly is still here. Great management.

 

[Damisoph]

Oh, Kadri discussion OK. I miss him, especially seeing him reach back to his Leafs roots and allowing his man to go untouched to the net and score the GWG to eliminate the Avs last year. But he got 9 goals so all good.

Avs wouldn't be in the series without his 9 goals.

I like Kadri but you're ridiculous with this revisionist history. People were calling for his head after the shenanigans against the Bruins.

People were calling for Larry Murphy's head also. Victimising Kadri and ignoring 17 other guys that didn't show up in those games. Trading young top-6 forward for nothing. That's ridiculous.

Nobody victimized Kadri. He made 2 suspendable plays in back-to-back years and costed him team. This is the revisionism I'm talking about. Sure, Dubas didnt get the best value from the trade but, you're choosing to ignore why he traded him to begin with. You hold Dubas accountable but not Kadri.

Terrible take.

We are #1 in the league.

Kadri led to Kerfoot and Brodie, which I think is a team upgrade.

The 1 mil in cap difference between Kerfoot and Kadri is probably the difference between signing Brodie and settling for someone (don't know if anyone even went for under 4 mil that is a good D in free agency).

Rielly is also the #1D for the best defense in the division.

Colorado is also currently saddled between Minnesota and LA for 3rd in their division (arguably the weakest division).

Kadri clearly isn't a player that puts a team over the edge, so if the biggest complaint is that Kadri brought an edge, good thing they addressed your complaint this summer.

Your argument will be playoffs now, but there is an outlier in his playoff performances and I don't think it is because he magically matured into some dominant playoff performer.

If you really think about it, Leafs management caused inadvertently Kadri's suspensions. He was the only physical player the Leafs had on their teams when he was suspended. The team lacked character and feistiness. Although his actions are not right and caused more harm then good for the Leafs. Had they had some more grit and size to take care of their more skilled players, Kadri wouldnt have had to illegally send messages and step up for himself and teammates.

I still wish we had Kadri on this team. Hindsight is 20/20, but he would be more value to the Leafs with their existing lineup then both Barrie and Kerfoot ever were or are. Its unfortunate, but nothing we can do now.

Imagine playing him like the Avs are right now as a winger that takes draws on the top line. We are searching for a winger right now for Tavares. How perfect would Kadri be right now?

Dubas is management. Kadri is just a soldier. He goes to die where officers tell him to go. It's on management. The Leafs came to play unprepared and paid for it. They would have lost with or without Kadri. It took Duby 7 years to add grit to this team. Some management.

Dubas hasn't been here for 7 years. Thanks for showing you aren't paying attention. Yes very good management.
Kadri is not a soldier. He hurts his team in the playoffs. Good on Dubas for moving him.
Dubas's developmental and drafts looking strong too.

 

[stickty111]

Kadri made 2 selfish plays in the playoffs and is one of the reasons Avs were out in 2nd round. But yeah great soldier.
Even Avs fans have had enough of him.

Lol blaming a player's selfish acts on the team. What Kadri did was his own undoing. Lets not make excuses for him. Sure if you want a slow defensive mess of a player, then yes Kadri is your guy.
Avs fans can't stand him.

 

[stickty111]

What a leader guys. Intentionally hurts other players and his own team. Kadri can blame himself for being traded.

No he isn't. He literally had a turnover and missed his man in OT which cost the Avs.

Yes the management is looking great.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Is the title of this thread wrong? It seems to be a Kadri thread versus the players involved in the trade (Galchenyuk, Korshkov).

 

[BertCorbeau]

Alright this thread has derailed OT, I'm locking it up.
