why on earth would you trade kadri?

Kadri is an expensive 3rd line C who can be replaced with someone 2-3 million $ cheaper and or Marleau(who can't be traded) can be penciled in as the 3rd C, for the Leafs have lots of depth on the wings. Plus Kadri's 3 game suspension in last year's playoffs cost the Leafs a playoff round win.

kadri??? expensive??? lmfaooooo he had 32 goals in 2017-18 and is getting paid only 4.5 as a second line centre at the time. yep, lets have our oldest player play centre, when he can barley keep up as a winger. kadri's suspension was not the big factor as to why we lost, matthews didn't show up (well, most of the top 6) and inconsistent defence. can't say if kadri would've made a difference but we'll never know. but as far as I'm concerned, kadri is a very cheap contract, considering the versatility he has, along with the ability to shut down top line centres. but yes, trade the biggest and most important piece of the bottom 6. naz's line i super important to the leafs system, and trading him would be absolutely foolish.
