Hi,

I hate the Leafs...

Me

I see lots of improvement in him.

I think what is insane is trying to act like you know he can't become something more. You don't know.

I like the fact that he seems to be the only guy buying in to actually trying to play a 200 foot game. Discounting the guys like Winnik and Santo who learnt that elsewhere. I'd like the Leafs to be really really patient with Kadri

can't unfortuately...he'll be 25 to start next season (again he ain't a puppy) and we have to make a choice on him before then. $5mil? no thanks. If he finishes strong and earns it; OK. Not based on his play last few years. This is a good test for him. No excuses now that he's Point on the PP and playing with fat phil.

ahh...nice

You can't discount that over the last few weeks, he has been there best and most consistent forward. No reason to believe he won't continue to grow.

What a big meany he is..

he's flat lined with the rest of the team the last 3 weeks.

This is true. They've finally seemed to buy into playing him with Kessel for more than one shift at a time, but those two can't seem to develop chemistry yet.

you live with him...actually I'll put him in the mail tomorrow...pm me your address

I think Kessel has fat lined, err, umm..I mean flat lined.

Kadri has been playing a much better overall game lately..

BUddy, I get it.. My cat was almost a victim of a cruel act.. Made sounds I have never heard before... At 4 am, then 5am then 7 am... If it was not -30 outside... I still thought of it..

i'm not picking on him....and not discounting what you are saying. But take a look at the last few weeks for the leafs.

IMO we are way too lenient on players. He's been a top 6 guy and the team is terrible. His numbers have regressed. Now im willing to give him a chance; but i don't pay/not pay guys on if i like them as a player. He's not young anymore (youngish but come on show some consistency as again he's so one dimensional). If he earns it down the stretch, i have no problem signing him.

Quetsion, kadri does horrible for the rest of the year, finishes with 18 goals and 45 pts. What does he get (considering he wants 5 years) and you are the GM. Make him an offer or do you explore the trade route?

I make him a 1 year offer and promise him top line/top PP minutes with Kessel to show me he's worth being paid and locked up. If he balks, I ask the league for trade offers and/or wait for an offer sheet.

I like this answer. I would do it a different way (promise him for the las 35 games or so this year and move kessel at the draft) but we have the same idea.

His points per game last 3 years:

12/13: .92
13/14: .64
14/15: .57

now im far from using only stats, but in his case i will since again, offense is pretty much all he brings.

That's why you move Phil for some good pieces and settle with Kadri as a 2nd line centre.

Considering he only has 27 points right now, 45 points will be a good finish to the season for him
