this is the dumbest post on this thread. if mcdavid were to do the same thing, would oilers fans love gutless plays?

It goes beyond the one play, though. That's why I said "plays". This is not Kadri's first rodeo. He has more games lost to discipline than Marchand to the same point in their careers.
Kadri is a rat. Leafs fans support him. Therefore Leafs fans support a rat.

Traditionally, I haven't totally loved Kadri's game, and ultimately, there may be a situation where the Leafs sign Tavares and Kadri becomes a casualty of that upgrade.
However, the hit he put on Wingels was not an issue at all. First of all, the sequence of events was basically Chara hitting Marner, and then Wingels coming in like a fake tough guy and elbowing Marner in the face. No harm done at that point, but it's clear there's an attrition game that Boston is playing. Plausible deniability, but there's the intent to f you up as part of the game plan. This is why guys seem to drop like flies when they play against the Bruins, as well as Bruins players themselves.
Kadri stepping in and wrecking Wingels I hope sends the message that the Leafs should be in it together and that liberties taken on our younger and more vulnerable stars won't be taken lightly.

If Toronto loses due to Kadri not being in their lineup doesn’t that just mean he’s even more valuable than perceived. Lol. He’s a 39 goal scorer on a great deal. Sick hands. Agitates. Why would you deal that ?

As a Leaf fan, I don't blame Kadri quite as much as the ridiculously inconsistent George Parros who gives token fines quite often to multiple repeat offenders in the same season but chooses to crucify Kadri here in the playoffs. I think playoff game suspensions used to be considered double punishment?
I can understand how Kadri reacted to seeing Marner completely vulnerable after being hit by Chara receiving an elbow, misguided or not, to the head by Wingels who has his own history but I wish somehow he had been able to restrain himself.

I've already stated that in the OP. His edge has cost this team on more than one occasion. He cannot be trusted to help this team. He hurts this team.

No offense, but Kadri also "came in as a fake tough guy".
The message sent was "We can't handle the rough stuff".
This incident didn't increase Kadri's value, but rather decreased it.

Not at all. Shanahan has suspended him. Why did he do that? Because he's an ideal leaf with no issues? Do all teams want a repeat offender?
LOL he's one of the best 2C in the league.
"Cautiously trade for him"? Um every GM would lineup to trade for him.

I'm sorry, but this probably one of the dumbest posts that I've ever had the misfortune of reading on here, which is saying ALOT. You're the typical "the sky is falling!!!" Toronto Sun reading, knee jerk reacting Leaf fan that tarnishes the entire reputation of our fanbase. Sometimes, I don't blame other fans for thinking we're a bunch of idiots. Posts like the above certainly don't help.
P.S: If you still don't know why your post is stupid, stick around.
We support him as a player not a rat and many leafs fans don't support the choice he made and agree with his decision. If you weren't so stupidly biased you could see.

Yah I knew someone was gonna catch that. He's probably not gonna get traded but if the blues were interested in him I'd want Thomas and a defender to start off.TWO MINUTES LATER:
