And once again, I have to state:
There is middle ground. He reminds me of a physical Nik Hagman...so an ok to good top 6 or 9 winger.
- mykokes

Not nearly the offensive skills of Hagman.

Not nearly the offensive skills of Hagman.

I just mean he's capable of 40 points 20 goals

Nylander yeah...Kapanen could stand to benefit though.
- mykokes

Kapanen, Gauthier and Liepsic are going to be a great 3rd line for the Marlies a couple times.

I just mean he's capable of 40 points 20 goals
- mykokes

He might, but I think that would be a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

Bozak > Kadri

So is Winnik.

And PA Parenteau.

And Spaling.

And a bunch of other guys signed by 29 other teams to fill out their 3rd and 4th lines - and they were all signed to 1-year contracts for less than $2 million.

He might, but I think that would be a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

Disagree, but happy Bozak is going to win me $50!

Doubt those two will. As for Parenteau, if he keeps getting all this PP time sure.

Seem to be a great 3rd line for the AHL best Marlies right now.

If you don't start loving Komarov soon you're going to be reviled as much as UG around here

He shouldn't be, but Kadri is getting a free pass from everyone because he is trying real hard and playing defense sometimes and he even wins face-offs for the first two periods.

He might, but I think that would be a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

- Aetherial

And the risk of sounding like the typical Leafs fan I love to mock, I really like what Kadri is doing right now.

The goals will come.

Oh hell, I'll just take a big sip of blue Kool-aid and say it:

The Leafs don't look half-bad right now.

It's like I'm watching Major League - although with this team, hopefully Leo "Wild Thing" Komarov doesn't become HIV positive in 20 years.

Nah, Wedgie is the LEO KOMAROV of these boards dude.....definitely the most interesting poster on HB.

They better get used to it.

Is that a typo, or did you mean that?

Because if so, damn, that's funny.

He's getting a free pass because the Leafs actually look good when he's on the ice.

Stop being subtle - I don't understand it.

What is Kadri doing that is so great, that you can't get from any bargain basement 3rd line center.

Until those points actually come, he is not fulfilling the role of a #1C.

Right now, he is Komarov basically, with less grit and less offense.

We are just willing to like anyone who appears to be working hard. Our standards are THAT low.

It was not a typo.

Sadly, it was not my original. I first saw it a few years ago.

Nah man, watch the games.

The tank is in danger.

We are headed for a 14th draft pick

Is there a fancy-shmancy chart that shows scoring chances generated?

I'll bet Kadri's Shmancy numbers are very high right now.

Stop being subtle - I don't understand it.

No, that was serious. You sir are a legend here. MVP!

Babcock and I on same page. Playoffs or GTFO
