There's just something about Kadri that scares the poop out of me when Leafs fans start saying we should trade him.
He's had a few (very few, and far between) flashes of brilliance on the ice. The kind of stuff that makes you stop and say, "wow."
I realize this is no guarantee if anything, but I'd really prefer we keep the kid and see where his talent can take him.
Ashton? Yeah, I only saw him for 15 games, but he didn't do a single thing to impress me. - Atomic Wedgie
Ashton was that physical, grinder-type player that fans fell in love with at the WJHC and then people realized his up-tempo style of play hid the fact he had little scoring talent.

Give him 1 year up, 1 entire season let him go through the good and bad bench him once or twice to teach him a lesson if need be just don't send him down anymore and don't trade him until he has proven he will not work out for the team.
That being said I believe Carlyle is going to do that this year.
confidence with him I think. Was excellent at the WJC and very solid down the stretch in AHL. He was used in a checking role with Leafs and I get the feeling he was trying to play safe more than anything. Think we'll see more from him this year (if ...)
agree on Kadri - he's got ridiculous hands and vision. Once he figures the NHL game out and has the strength to play he's going to be dangerous offensively. - Big_Lightnin
Ashton .....he seems like a north-south 3rd liner that's committed to finishing checks. If he can keep playing that way ...learn to drive the net and play well defensively then he offers something the Leafs don't have a lot of right now.
