My first reaction was...what?
But on second thought -- if they manage to hang on to a playoff spot, he'll have to get some votes. He's been insane.
I don't care what anyone says as of right now Kadri needs to be considered for the Heart trophy.

The Hart is Crosby's to lose at this point, but I don't think it's unreasonable to consider Kadri as a potential nominee.
Leafs wouldn't be in the playoffs without him that's for sure.
Absolutely not. Heart trophy is suppose to go to the player that is most important to his team. He is essentially the only change to a team (JVR) and they have gone to being laughing stocks for the better part of a decade to a team that could get home ice advantage in the playoffs and have gotten points in 8 straight games. He is also somewhere around 5th in scoring after tonight and is the best player on his team almost every night... not saying he should get the award but he should be discussed.

For someone ppl considered a bust (or unlikely to make them team in preseason) he has been an offensive force.
Ron Wilson maybe could have saved his job playing him.
Semi-retired
Why not?
After tonight, his 39 points will put him 6th in scoring. That alone will garner some votes.
Outscoring him is St. Louis and Stamkos (and Tbay isn't making the playoffs). Hard to see one of them getting it.
That leaves Kane, Crosby, Tavares, Getzlaf, and Kadri all fighting for the award as of now.
I agree, it's probably Crosby's to lose. But I could see Kadri getting some discussion.

3 goals and an assist tonight. Just another day at the office. There aren't many players in the league that are more valuable to their team than Kadri. He makes everyone around him better. He and Lupul together have been deadly. Toronto is playoff bound and Kadri is a major reason why.

For as much as I appreciate the sentiment and as a Leaf fan I am enamored with Kadri, I think this is a little bit of an overreaction.
1- as mentioned it is Crosby's to lose.
2- Kane, Getz, Tavares, are the leaders of their teams in more than just scoring. Kane has Toews, Getz has Perry and Tavares, well he in on NYI, but all of them play #1 minutes and play against the other teams #1 lines or defensive units every night.
What Kadri is doing is amazing and a godsend to the Leafs, but not at the Hart level.
I would also suggest that Lupul looks more like the inspirational leader of teh Leafs at the moment. He has taken the team by storm since returning, he has reignited the firestorm known as Kadri and has passion flowing from him.
Bigbabybuda, I love the post. The fact that it is not rejected as utter nonsense shows what a factor Kadri is this year, but he is realistically 4th on the list at best and likely to land closer to 10th by the time all is said and done.
Arguments could be made for E Staal, Goalies Price or Anderson, hell I am sure PK Subban has enough hype right now that he will get some votes.
The Hart would be a miraculous accomplishment for any Leaf, but for now, as a fan, get me to the playoffs and then we can debate whatever the hell you want.
