Yes he is.

Quit being a homer for once....he isnt right now.

You need to understand that Kadri will continue to improve, vastly, unlike Statsny.

(but disregard the fact that Statsny put up 71 pts in 66 games at 21 and 78 points in 82 games at 20)

See?

easy like that!

Kadri scored 48 pts last year, stastny 24. Who's better right now? Career ppg for kadr .64, stastny last 3 years .69.

I'm a homer cause 48 > 24?

Weird.

"vastly" improve is something that cannot be confirmed.
No one knows how much more Kadri will improved.
- Fakepartofme

Yeah, that was the point of my post.

A good shortened season is no guarantee that Kadri will keep improving or even stay at the same level he was last season.

But Stastny has a proven track record. He has done it for a 3 yr average. Kadri has not

So, he twice as good..

- bixll

People still think stastny is a ppg player. He hasn't done that in what 3-4 years? He's been a 50-55 pts player lately.

morning folks.. thought i'd chime in

kadri will sign his bridge deal but only once he realizes the leafs are actually willing to start the season without him

see: subban

same poop.

It is to most leaf fans apparently.
Kadri played well for about half a shortened season. In the eyes of some leaf homers....he is awesome!

Selective? Or most recent?

We get that.

But what guarantees you that Kadri won't be a 40pts player over 82 games next season?

Selective? Or most recent?

how about using the stats for both players, at the same age?

edit: you know the answer, it's because the numbers would be leaning heavily towards Statsny

And I'm pretty sure Colorado doesn't want the sh!t people have offered to trade for him.
The leafs are not trading for Stast...why would they want a quality centerman that would probably light it up with Kessel?
We have Bozo and Kadri....who played good for half a half season...he's obviously our future number 1!

- Fakepartofme

Nonis hitched his wagon to Bozak..he is the leafs #1 center for the next 5 years..assuming Kessel is still here.. I dont like it one bit, I tried to whine and cry as much as I could to let Bozak walk..but that didnt work

I'm a homer cause 48 > 24?

Ya great...so for two months Kadri was better than Stast.
Awesome!
Good job bud!


Stast will mostly likely never be a leaf, but to say Kadri is better right now at this minute based on a 48 game half season (almost half of which, he was invisible on the ice)...is simply foolish.

We get that.

But what guarantees you that Kadri won't be a 40pts player over 82 games next season?
- Pecafan Fan

We don't know that...but I'm willing to take that chance. I've seen the talent.

What guarantees stastny doesn't drop to 40pts(where he was last year)?

Based on age, style if play and skill and cap hit i choose kadri 20 tkmes out of 10.

who cares who has a better ppg now or that stastny had a decent year 4 years ago.. I dont want him on the leafs and I do want Kadri.. We drafted him, for once I would like to see that play out.

we get it, other teams players are always better and more valuable.
Colorado better hold onto Stastny

Cause where talking about now? Who would you want in your lineup this year?

2 month?

So today when he scored48 pts and stastny scored 24 that doesn't show who's better NOW? sure seems like it to me.

people tend to forget that stats has better defensive awareness than the two young centres the Avs have as well so he draws third line duties more.

I expect him to have a bigger season this year. Roy has stated clearly he slates him ahead of O'Reilly

look at the full picture.. stastny was primarily 3rd line.

very similar to the situation grabo was in

Kadri scored 48 pts last year, stastny 24. Who's better right now? Career ppg for kadr .64, stastny last 3 years .69.

I would rather have my bet on Kadri getting better and better than taking Statsny right now..... I think most people would agree...also, Kadri is not a wussy on the ice, he hits quite well....just ask that midget Gallagher on the Habs

Either way...

Bozak > Grabo > Kadri/Stastny
