Leafs curse is coming to the end. Why? We have management who's made us see differently and is going to make that a reality.

JVR-Stamkos-Marner
will ny- matthews - W. Simmonds (Kadri trade in summer)
Kappy-bozak- zach ladyparts
greening - rotating player - Milan

Shatty (prospect/pick trade) - Rielly
Jakey - missing someone
hunwick - please not marcinin

Cory
Burns

(frank) anyone else

- CanadianBodmon



He's not ready for the nhl yet but Leivo is.

No buddy, He said he was as good as JT.
- bixll

No he didn't, he stated he has similar talent but doesn't have the work ethic that produces the results that tavares has, so he wants to work harder so he can be like and as good as Tavares

“I think talent-wise there’s not too much difference, to be honest,” Kadri said.

How many ways can you pronounce potato ? Hove you seen JT play?

god forbid a young player needs a month or two to adjust to a new coach and system.... from late november on kadri was one of the most productive players in the league
- Dozzer


He is a career above league average shooting %

I guess he's just missing a sniper linemate for his great passes.

And I still think he needs to improve on his headspace.

I'd slot him in at 2B

He's got two more years at 5.25M, so he's not going to sit for that long, no way.

Lupul plays next year for sure. If he can stay healthy then maybe he gets moved in 17/18, but we're taking salary back for sure.

his salary being paid is below his actual cap hit.

So...Ryan Strome had a massive poop of a year.

Anybody think Edmonton and NYI could be a good trade partner?

Yak + 1st for Strome + Hamonic + NYI 1st?

Yak and Strome need new starts. Hamonic wants to live closer to his family and brings a number 2 defenseman to Edmonton.

They are not that close in talent, and we all know he does nothing off the ice. Cept smoke pot and eat Doritos. SO, why read it again. He is not even close to JT in any category.

To be fair.

James Tanner proved that there is no difference in the talent level of NHL players and that if there is ANY it is so minuscule as to be inconsequential. So Kadri is right...and leads the league in "expected goals."

Tanner

Do people actually read his troll blogs?

while i agree JT is the better player... lets see how kadri does with linemates that actually deserve to be in the top 6 before making any final judgements

i would put money down tat kadri would have better seasons if he wasnt constantly saddled with guys like komarov (who i like, but he is a bottom 6 guy) and grabner

and then everyone points out how bad kadri is... its f'n ridiculous

If they were on the same level, why the eff are we looking for a number 1c and tanked the season to get a crack and Matthews?

OMG...you said something bad and maybe true about Kadri......YOU are a racist.


.........According to some on this board.

Why is everyone is arguing over a decent 2nd line center?
If the leafs sign Stammer and get Matthews.....Kadri is pretty much gone.
If both of the above do not occur....you'll see Kadri next year.

He's a rat that scores points.....he's usefull.
