Kadri's offense is really shining, especially against weaker opponents. If Marleau/Kadri/Marner can play tough opposition with respect,
they'll be making a huge contribution.

I think Babcock has give Kadri huge defensive responsibilities giving him these two wingers. The judging of when and when not to
push an offensive play is going to make or break this line. The 1st line is so solid. JVR/Bozak/Marner was one step forward, two steps
back. Now with Brown, there's a balance and that line is looking pretty solid. Not that there's anything wrong with Marleau/Kadri/
or Marner, but I think if any line is going to get caught up trying to score, it's this combination. There's no more turning the puck over
and hope one of the wingers deal with it. Babcock has rebuilt Kadri and now has given him his wings. Kadri is clearly in the driver's seat,
not only to lead his line to success, but the entire club.
