Finally, looks like having the AM, MM and WM helped him get to 30 since teams have difficulty focusing on players.
If Kadri was re-drafted in 2009, what spot would he go?

And to answer your question, I would take the following players from the 2009 draft over Kadri:
- Tavares
- Hedman
- Ekman-Larsson
- Duchene
And maybe O'Reilly
So Kadri should go 5th or 6th in a 2009 re-draft.

Hard to believe after all these years. If you would've told us then he'd be a 30g defensively responsible center we'd be ecstatic
Yea, I'd have him around the Duchene/O'Reilly 2nd tier from that draft right now which is amazing considering the long term contract he just signed.

Contragulations indeed. He's taken more than his share of abuse on these boards over the years but he kept working his butt off to get better and look at him now. Nazem Kadri, a bonafide #1 centre. Beauty!

Really happy for Naz.
He's gone through some ******** (a lot of it self-imposed) in Toronto.
Great to see him excelling.

Congratulations Kadri!
I still wonder if he gets us a top 2 D in a trade package at some point.
We should trade either JVR or Bozak before trading Kadri
But what about Jared Cowen.
Remember how sens fans were saying that Murray was playing a jedi mind trick and really wanted Cowen instead?

To be honest I'm not sure about Duchene anymore. Very talented and great offensively but he's soft and average to poor defensively. If Kadri can keep this up I think a case could be made for him over Duchene.

I wonder who of his bashers back in the day comes in and mans up! For my part, i always supported him in his development to this stage. Some of us knew his best years were ahead. Some never seen it for some reason. Looking back, the best thing that ever happened to him was sleeping in. So if you are tired some day and things just aren't going that well anyway. Just go in to work late.

Pretty funny seeing people whine last season and the year before.
Kadri's a beast!

Isn't it funny how good things happen when you have a coach that supports you and knows what you're capable of and helps you reach it?

The best part of his low point is how extraordinary his high point has come. Absolutely a good example comes from going down the wrong path once again. Brilliantly done Kadri. I think he will only get stronger as long as he is not easily swayed by his own determination and success that followed. Its pretty cool for myself personally when a person realizes their full potential.
