I like Kadri. But very few players reach the PPG plateau.
I just don't think he's in the same category as Tavares, Crosby, Malkin or Ovechkin...

60 points would be a good year.

It's very early.

patches?! after PK?!

I'm calling Matthias as my "pleasant surprise" guy this year.

I've floated this idea in the past, so I may as well do it again.

I share my Leafs tickets with my brothers, and I used to always require them to fill out a questionaire. Predicted points by the Leafs, major trophy winners, Stanley Cup winners and finalists. You had to make a comment on each guy (whatever you wanted to say). And then there were questions like: biggest surprise, biggest disappointment, etc.

And one final question: If you remember nothing else, remember I said this about the Leafs: __________________

So here's my idea: I'll create a template. Everyone makes their predictions. We then get the IT wizards of Hockeybuzz to then move all the predictions to a new thread (I guess in the Leafs section?) and lock it, so nobody can change their predictions.

Predictions that will inevitably come back to haunt you (I once predicted that Mark Bell would be the reason the Leafs won the Toskala trade).

Whadda ya say?

Mods: is this possible?
- Atomic Wedgie

We can do that in the Leafs misc threads, set an end date for predictions and I will lock it.

Remember when UG used to flip out when we lost these guys?

Kinda like Leafman is now?

roughly at a 0.73 pace for the year.

I don't bother with posting lines, 1) it's depressing and 2) I have no idea who is a match on a line with this group.

Meh, it's somewhat interesting....gives us something else to talk about and poop on.

Oh, something else I thought about regarding the trade yesterday....and I'm not saying this was the case, but....

You know how Babcock preached about having good people and quality humans in the organization, etc? Maybe a couple of these guys were just douches.....who knows?

My vote would have been Subban... for what it's worth (which means, nothing)

You are missing his point.

Very possible but doubtful. It's a theory all the same.

25 grabner if healthy, for sure...a couple shorty's to boot.
- Lucas.Neilson

Maybe...but I anticipate lesser goals scored this year with more emphasis placed on defense. I would LOVE to see some Calgary style game of 13-14, where they played very tight and exciting games, but still lost. One goal games, show intensity, set yourself up for next year and so on.

His # is!

YAY!

We can do that in the Leafs misc threads, set an end date for predictions and I will lock it.
- LeafMan

But will there be some kind of questionnaire, like a number of specific questions....or a free-for-all set of predictions?

The first post will be the rules.

I might have to unlock and edit a made up post to bring it to the top if it gets to far down.

How are the nerves?

I don't think he's on that plateau, I consider those guys over a ppg player...I could see Kadri turning in a 80pt season...I don't think he's a super star, but he definitely does have the potential to be a 80 point player in my opinion.

I've never been a fan of Pacioretty. Not the hockey player, the guy himself.

I find him so (frank)ing bland it's unbelievable. (which, btw, is precisely why he's now the captain of this team).

It was a smart decision to keep it away from PK, let him play without it.

There was a time when poopties could go PPG

Been hearing that for years now

Kadri better be on the top line this season, had enough of watching Bozak's mediocrity.
