He is the real deal. A lot depends on whether he is the #1 center in TO, in which case a ppg is achievable or if he is #2, in which case I would say 65 - 70 pts
Would guys consider Kadri before Skinner?!?

Does recent contract negotiations hurt Kadri in any way?
Does he get a contract he wants then fails to impress as the pressure becomes relentless in Toronto?
I am almost hoping he gets a smaller bridge contract so that he gets another year to prove himself before they pay him big dollars.

Kadri significantly over Skinner
I would take Skinner.
I have slowly been developing a dislike for Kadri. Seems like a bone-head....the kind of guy you roll your eyes at all the time cause of comments he makes.
Besides that, he had one good half of a season...whose to say would have continued to produce over an 82 game season? His value couldn't be lower in most leagues before the season started in January....and now his value is higher than it ever has been. Seems like if I could get comparable player but one who is a more proven player, I would make the switch. There's bound to be at least one GM who will overpay for Kadri thinking he's the next demi-god of Toronto.

He's hitting sell-high territory, for sure.
Great production in a shortened season, maybe some protected minutes (as in, Grabovski took a lot of tough matchups), second full year as a pro - a time when many good rookies struggle...there's enough there for me to think Kadri will drop off a bit.
I'm not talking from 70point pace to 45 or 50, but enough of a drop that if you're drinking the koolaid and projecting him as a possible 80pt guy...well, you're gonna wish you hadn't.
The reality is that there's enough issues floating around Kadri that - if he were on a team other than the Leafs - there would be more threads projecting a dropoff. Instead, we've got a bunch of threads saying he's a 70pt guy for sure.
depends on who you're asking I guess...Kadri is Real or a dream ?
if you're talking to many Leafs fans, he's already penciled in as the 2nd coming of Darryl Sittler
the rest of us are a little more cautiously optimistic...if I were to pick a comparable from my Habs I'd probably say Plekanec though probably more consistent, like 60-70 pts consistently? I think Kadri will have a big impact for the team as a whole but not as much on the scoreboard as many might be valuing him after last season
I have him on my team, and I feel like I'm the only one in my league that has any faith in him.
That being said, I fully expect a dropoff this season. But I am confident that in a few years, he will be an 80-point guy. Sure there were lots of reasons why he did so well last year, but he also had a lot working against him: Not top linemates (except for a few games with Lupul), not top ice time (only 14 minutes a game on average), etc. Once everything balances out and he's had more games (he's only played 99 career games so far) and he gets used to the league, he should be an 80-point guy.
Owners just need to have patience.
