Nazem Kadri Demoted Back to Junior

[agonizedfever]

haha maple leaf fans nazem has 17p in 41games and some defenseman drafted in the 2nd round of the same yr nazem was drafted has 9p in 21 games( stefan elliott). Maple leafs suck!

[Gforce7860]

MUSLIMS ARE THE BEST HOCKEY PLAYERS.

[joffthewall77]

@Gforce7860 i wouldnt say that.

[AfghanKushUser]

@afnan22

couldnt have put it better myself

[Italian007western]

what do you expect the leafs cant pick any good players, and this guy should never have been allowed to put skates on and play a Canadian sport.

[DrearyErie]

@Italian007western -Ignorant people like you have no place in Canada. I took a peek at your profile and you have all this anti-war stuff yet you're the first to spew your hatred? Being Italian, are you this way from breathing in too much cement dust? Get it? Italian/cement? Not nice being the target of racial profiling is it? Grow up, if you don't have anything positive to post...don't post. Simple as that.

[omarA156]

he better gain some weight, so he can play leafs hockey next year

[SwedishSpeedstarMPS]

Taylor Hall is better than him

[oilersfan194]

he really understands that the leafs organization wants him to develope more because they want him to enter the nhl as a star and put up big points

[aplayaz2000]

and experirences like the junionrs canada... true

[blueshirts10]

he'll be the next tavares of the world junior championships this year

[arcus101]

guys..if kadri plays in the NHL at 185 lbs, he WILL get injured because of the style he plays, especially with the amount of games in a season + the hectic travelling and schedueling of the league.

[CrazyCleatus420]

Indeed, but honestly, if he can get to 190 pounds by next season, he should make the team. I think he'll be an amazing center for Kessel.

[Sundin456]

This is fucking so stupid!!!!!!!! We practically have the same team as last year except for Komisarek Beauchimen Gustavsson Stalberg

[Shogun57]

u forgot to mention rosehill. wallin, primeau, Orr, exelby and kessel

[Fifa09Wii]

how is it the same team..? gustavsson, macdonald, komisarek, beauchemin, kessel, gunarsson, stalberg, rosehill, wallin, orr, bozak, exelby, primeau,

[Sundin456]

Rosehill , Wallin and Bozak aren't on the team.

[Fifa09Wii]

they've all played for the leafs this year and wallin is on the team.. maybe if you watched the games you'd notice him wandering around

[Sundin456]

I have watched every game you fucking retard and I didn't say Wallin was on the team I'm practically saying we have like 70% of the people from last year on the team and where were we last year. Not in the playoffs that's for sure.

[Fifa09Wii]

Wallin is on the team....... what the fuck are you talking about? And the Leafs made the most moves out of any team in the NHL besides Montreal but that's because they were forced to. Fucking moron.

[Sundin456]

Holy fuck who even gives a shit I haven't been watching them lately because of IIHF World Juniors. Stop starting stupid fucking arguments and go fuck your dad in the face.

[Fifa09Wii]

The World Juniors started 6 days ago, Wallin has been on the team since the first game of the year.. you're pretty fucking smart.

[Sundin456]

@Fifa09Wii Are you retarded??? Incase you didn't realize there were exhibition matches before that.

[Fifa09Wii]

So what does that add on, 4 days? A tournament starting 10 days ago stops you from watching the Leafs games that started almost 100 days ago?

[Sundin456]

Anyways who gives a shit about Wallin anyways. Fuck why don't you pay attention to Niklas Hagman.

[Fifa09Wii]

Hagman is sick, I don't see your point.. nice to see you actually watch Leaf games like you said you do......... faggot

[rickross16]

is he back on the free roster or will leafs have him next year?

[Sergei91]

Great player, i still don't understand how can a player advance in level if he gets sent BACK where he started.....in order to advance, you go FORWARD, but in order to revert the progress, you go BACK.....these coaches are unfair.

He's worth AT LEAST to be on the 4th line...and i bet that he would have ended up on the first line by the time the play offs close in.....

I hope this don't kill his game.

[zakarenaboy]

you dont know anything bout junior hockey do you....

[leafsfan313]

what the fuck! bullshit he would get calder

[McClinchey09]

Great move let him dominate the OHL, play for his country at the world juniors and gain some strength. This kid will be something special.

[archieclub]

will kadri play for the leafs in the regular season?

[bryson3peters]

maybe.....they say he does not have the body

[newfrontier3000]

No, he's gona to juniors and won't be seen ina leafs uniform until next season's training camp.

[LeafsandRaptors]

No

Once he gets sent down to junior, he can't be called up again

[leaf16nut]

The future for the leafs is bright... Bozak, Kadri, Stalberg, kessel...

Kulemin + Tlusty + Grabovski.. if they get going and play how I, and many feel they can play... we wil have A SHIT LOAD of talent in the leafs line up...

and even if we lose it'll b fun to watch: fights, hits, goals..

Leafs will have the cup within the next 3 years!!! GARUNTEED!!!

[XxxTayyxxX]

They should have put him in the Marlies so he play a lot more games and be prepared for the semi 150 games in the NHL, also if the put him there he'd gain speed, and their training camp are great.

[Agati93Raptors]

So does this mean there's no chance of him on the team this ENTIRE Season? or cna he be called up?

[schumnader]

yep

[BryanErnst]

yeah, hes with them till the end, I think hes better off there any way, The OHL is no slouch league, he can steam roll everyone down there and get even more confidence. Good Move.

[XxxTayyxxX]

He can be called up, up to 9 times. Than if he is past 9 they HAVE to keep him in the NHL.

[ildlgamereviews]

this is starting to piss me off i really liked him and he was doing really good

[hothjoke]

thats kinda gay

[edgedude59]

he better be in the juniors for only 1 or 2 years or else

[mrFantasticfan111]

lol agreed

[huzaifah123]

he needs to develop and leafs roster is packed with freakin primeau wow

[jessekid86]

keep bozak up, keep stalberg up, send hanson and kadri back down... thats my insight.. he'll make it next year..

[Dan95]

tht sucks hes amazing

[scottwill19]

WTF! did you not see kadri wreck the preseason? this was a stupid move, i am disappointed that you would send a perfectly good player down to junior when he clearly showed he was ready...he shouldve been sent to the marlies, not junior

total stupidity on brian burke's side here

[sorryimlate2]

did you not hear ron wilsons reason? its true, he has 100 point potential, another year in the minors will help him with that. do you not remember all those prospects this organizations fucked up because they rushed the guys into the leauge? or are you just one of those bandwagon fans?

[ildlgamereviews]

does this mean he wont be coming back to toronto or something cuz i thought he was the best thing that happened to the club in a while

[drag0nrangr]

Next year, he'll be back to NHL for sure.

[josh17beaton]

naw, next year i think he will do an ahl/nhl mix, mostly ahl

[sorryimlate2]

As much as I'd like to see him in a leafs jersey this year, it's the right move. he'll dominate in the OHL and world juniors and itll help him grow as a player

[scottwill19]

shut up nimrod

hes ready right now

[sorryimlate2]

"Fans" like you are the reason why the rest of the fans in the league think we're so bad.

[canadianmaple09]

He's 6'1 and 177lbs. He needs to put on at least 15lbs to be a decent weight for the NHL, not to mention a year being the London Knights' leader won't hurt. You don't want him to be playing in the NHL too early... remember Nik Antropov? He went straight to the NHL instead of being developed and within two years he'd had surgery on both knees and his shoulder. I'd prefer to avoid that with Kadri.

[streetsharksinspace]

well put, i'm looking forward to the patience of Burke and Wilson with the good young players we now have coming through the system

[WeaselVideos]

perfectly said

[KraftDinner123456]

@canadianmaple09 I agree with you that developing Kadri is the best move, and look what he did in another season in the OHL! He is bulking up, and that should help him play in the NHL! Though for comparison, he already weighs more then Kessel

[Polski93]

@canadianmaple09 ...hes 188 now :)

[LyricsCo]

at 18 hes good but he needs more weight... Watch Next Season when he comes and dominates... Also Hanson and Frogren are gone to the AHL and Andy Rogers has been cut from the roster.. Guys i wanna keep: Bozak Stalberg Exelby White Guys to leave: Carl Gunnerson Jay Rosehill Jeff Finger Mike Van Ryn Sorry i loved Rosehill to.. Maybe he will bounce between the leafs and marlies

[BlackStarzzzX0X]

I think all 4 of the guys you wanna keep are on my keep list too. I'd throw Gunnerson on the keep list as well - he impressed me with his play.

[scottwill19]

no, van ryn and finger stay

[LyricsCo]

By Van Ryn And Finger i mean that there scratched or there injured... which both are

[pethcir]

I'm so glad he forgot about the Montreal Canadiens.

[nover123456]

haha easy people, this is a good thing

[anthonychrisbradley]

wtf????

[aplayaz2000]

so if you enter the NHL, you can't go back to junior?

[TBLVINNY4]

wtf man

[slapsh0t4]

i Knew He Wouldnt make the Team

[carmie1818]

Talk about total stupidity...if you play or played in the CHL, which the OHL is a part of, you have to be at least 20 to play in the AHL.

Plus, he will be going to one of the very best junior hockey franchises in North America, where he will be a team leader...and then onto the world juniors...you rush these kids, you ruin them.

[FlareMonk]

Omg!!! Noo! He's so awesome!

[Crazy8Mikee]

WTFFFFFFF HE WAS ONE OF BEST WTF

[Jordycat13]

DAMNIT
