Fantasy Analysis
Nazem Kadri has played in 21 games this season for the Maple Leafs, recording six points and a plus-three rating. (Updated 02/01/2012).
01/13/2012 22:20 Sabres snap short three-game skid
Jason Pominville scored the go-ahead goal with 5:47 left in the second period, and the Buffalo Sabres held on for a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday.
01/10/2012 21:49 Leafs' Gustavsson earns another shutout
Jonas Gustavsson had 32 saves for his second shutout in three starts and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-0 on Tuesday.
Theres no question Kadri has skill. But he still needs work on his effort and consistency. A move off center sure helps; so will another stint with the Marlies for 2011-12. He has zero opportunity to crack the top-six in Toronto so a trip down Lakeshore Drive would be the best thing for his career. Heck, it fits with general manager Brian Burkes top-six, bottom-six philosophy so we hope the Leafs will be smart and give him that chance to completely dominate the AHL. Leafs fans will flip; so will Canadas Don Cherry. But were starting to think that kid gloves may be the best -- and only -- way to grow this enigmatic talent into an abrasive, Corey Perry-lite. Otherwise, he could just be another Darcy Tucker. (Updated 10/4/11)
