I think people are down on Kadri just because he is a Leaf. I mean, there is no way Backlund or Eller are better than him. Not currently and they don't have as much potential. Just sayin'
Have you ever considered that you might be overrating Kadri a little bit?
Its far from a lock that Kadri becomes a better player than Eller. Although he didn't get a ton of ice-time this year, Eller did look very good. Especially in the playoffs. With increased maturity, ice-time and some more development, Eller should become a very good two-way 2nd line center.
I think Kadri is the more skilled player, but hockey is a game of more than just Skill.. Eller has all the tools needed to be a great NHL player. I'd really like to know why you think its so ridiculous to think Eller will be better than Kadri, to the point where you claim there's some bias against Leaf players..
