Nazem Kadri Drafted 7th Overall- Toronto Maple Leafs

[Ruinedbad]

isnt it ironic his dad is a big habs fan and kadri goes on to play with the leafs?

[musicgeek3]

ok decent pick ok, he won't play until next season , so where are they trading Kaberle to they have to free up a ton of cap room for next year ... 2010 they will need at least 10 mil in cap room for # 61

[mcshephard]

WHAT! do you even watch Hockey? He is limited to less than 1mill in his enrty contract. Plus not even Crosby or Ovechkin make 10mill a season! Wow dude... You are a music geek and def. not a hockey guy!

[Fifa09Wii]

#61 is Rick Nash bud, but unfortunately he already got re-signed

[timsonschlueterson]

Damn, he is a fucking Habs "Fan" but plays for us now. lol

[74bros46]

yaaaaaa

"Leafs SUUUUCKs" - Kandri

[steminc1]

Leafs pick a muslim. Should be an "explosive" player.

[leftjab123]

dude that's just wrong.

[faxstax]

haha yeah. better check his skates for bombs.

[swong066]

what an ignorant thing to say. kadri is born and raised in london, ontario. canada is very multicultural. the sooner we accept ppl from diff cultures, the better. plus, lebanese food is very popular here in canada...it's ironic when ppl complain about ethnic communities here and yet continue to eat their food. sigh. open your eyes to diff. cultures.

[faxstax]

shut up bitch it was a joke and i dont eat ethnic food so fuck you.

[eric71]

LMAO.

[mrFantasticfan111]

god damnit wanted Brayden

[TheDonman89]

if the leafs wanted a played like this they should have kept welwood

[faxstax]

wellwood sucks hes a midget and doesnt play physical, why the fuck would we want him we're a rebuilding team.

[Fifa09Wii]

ya Wellwood would have been out in a second.. he's the complete opposite of Burke

Probably one of the top 3 weakest guys in the league, never fights, isn't THAT skilled..

[twistedcinemas]

K people. If Burke really thought this kid wasn't good enough, he could've easily moved to like 5th to get Schenn without trading Luke. But clearly he thought this kid would be good enough that they didn't need to trade anything else. Welcome to hell Kadri :) Looking forward to seeing your debut.

[CrowleyCanada2112]

Kadri is a steal at 7, he's high skill high offense, and according to scouts a very good hitter, a well rounded player who can be top siz is exactly what toronto needed, great pick

[JDubs878]

For all the peeps out there who are down on Kadri just think of it this way. He'll never be the worst draft pick ever by a Toronto franchaise. That title will always belong to Araujo. :p

So yeah, maybe he was a surprise pick at 7, but at least he has a chance at being a star unlike Araaaaaaaaaujo.

So here's to hoping you turn out great Kadri. Allah Akbar!!

[faxstax]

they should have picked cowan or brayden schenn. this guy is too small and not physical enough.

[timsonschlueterson]

Burke wanted Schenn! But the fucking Kings got him... You saw burkes face? He was fucking angry...

[faxstax]

yeah i know, we should have fuckin got him but fuck theres not much he could do. i really didnt think schenn would go that high and once he did i thought burke was takin cowen for sure.

- isles fan

[likemy1234]

lol the leafs stink? you cheer for the freaken islanders there whole organization is a joke.. Now that you got Tavares you think your team soooo good right? Let me remind you that you only won 26 games last season... Should i remind you of your history in drafts aswell? cause i got all day.

[ryand333]

agreed! took dipietro 1st overall and passed on zach parise, great management!!

[Stevenio]

Leafs dont stink as much as the Isles otherwise they be picking 1st lol.

[LondonHockeyGurl]

what a great pick I was disappointed that they didn't get Schenn but I'm happy with this pick, hes gonna do great . ps GO LEAFS GO !

[apocalypticteddybear]

Great pick for Toronto. Most of the people I know wanted Schenn... Why?? So he can play with his brother. I think talent wise Kadri is a better player. Schenn is good but Kadri will be a better nhl player.

[musicgeek3]

yes I agree great skills he will be a great offensive threat great pick, however still VERY dissapointed they did NOT get BRAYDEN SCHENN they need a physical player!!!!

[likemy1234]

Buddy... YES brayden schenn was a guy toronto was after. But Burkes a smart man knew that LA wouldnt give up their pick as easily as they would to some other team. Kadri is a great player and will do anything for the leafs he'll fight he'll hit and he'll score a great player and theres nothing to be dissapointed about... Dont quesiton brain burke just yet hes doing a good job at rebuilding and doesnt need anymore leaf fans trying to be know it alls..

[Fifa09Wii]

Kadri is a physical player..

[MusicGiver2]

WOOT FIRST MUSLIM BRAP BRAP

[Drenica123456789]

Well tie domi was half muslim, lol soo not really.

[MickKaine]

What a draft day disaster.

[likemy1234]

Are you kidding me...? Disaster? You havnt even seen this guy play yet and your already judging him? Trust me hes going to make you eat your words.. Great Player and a Good draft day what more do you want?

[Fifa09Wii]

Was it a disaster because they didn't get Tavares or because they didnt get Schenn?

[93Toronto93]

GO LEAFS GO!!!

[carmie1818]

Great pick...I live in London, I have watched him play all year...great skills, like Sam Gagner.

[jematiq]
