Starting to Warm Up to Nazem Kadri...

Kadri's play of late has been interesting. I've noticed that he is developing an elite scoring touch, elite passing skills, and he combines it with a bit of a nasty/physical edge. I think he is on the verge of eclipsing Bozak as the teams #1 center (if he hasn't already). He sure as hell loves to shoot the puck (206 SOG is almost double the next guy).  

 

Given the glut of centers that the Leafs have (is Komarov a center or not?), one wonders what happens to Kadri, Bozak, Komarov, or Holland at the trade deadline.  :)

If he can continue to learn the difference between nasty versus dirty hit, he will certainly be a keeper. The hit he laid on Andrej Nestrasil the other night was a text book shoulder to chest hit. Bad luck on the injury for Nestrasil but that is the type of hit I do not want removed from the game. Kadri has made his share of dirty hits but that was not one of them. He has the speed and the skill, all he has to do is learn to engage his brain a little quicker.
