Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
I am looking at HfBoard's projected lines thread and Kadri is on the 3rd line with Johnsson and Brown. Do his minutes take a bit of a dip? Overall, do you believe his production will hurt for not getting 2nd line minutes?

Re: Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
A little drop is expected, for sure. I see him around 50 points.
Re: Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
i think this role will add a bit to his PMs and Hits and take a bit away from the offensive side. In multi cat leagues i dont see much dropoff in value

Re: Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
Yes, his minutes will drop. How can they not? JT just took his minutes. I expect a drop in a couple minutes per game for Kadri, probably around the 15min per game range. Thats what Bozak was getting last season behind Kadri.Originally Posted by StuntMan12
Yes his production will drop as well. Again, how can it not for the same reasons. He's simply not going to get the same opportunities he was receiving pre-Tavares.

Re: Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
Yes and yes. Can't see how his minutes wouldn't dip as he drops down the depth chart, and I think that will also hurt his peripheral numbers. Heck his SOG/hit totals have already declined the last three seasons.
I'd say around 40-50 pts and expect a drop in other categories as well (shots, hits, PPP).
Re: Nazem Kadri as a 3rd line Center
The good news is Babcock doesn't play his top two lines a ton, so 3rd line in Toronto isn't like being banished to neverland. He could still scratch his way into the 50s, depending on PP deployment.
