How Many Points Will Nazem Kadri Get In 2011-2012?

PrintNazem Kadri, taken with the 7th overall pick in the 2008 NHL Draft, is still young. However, that has not stopped speculation that the Leafs may have begun to approach the end of the line with Kadri:
But more and more, it appears that there are serious concerns with whether the youngster is capable of getting the job done.
At his first training camp in 2009, an 18-year-old Kadri was not physically mature enough to play in the NHL. The following year, it was the mental side of his game that lacked maturity. This time around, he was simply not good enough.
His rookie year provided a number of good comparables as Chemmy noted:
There are some names on there that aren't stars but there aren't a ton of names on there that aren't decent prospects. Kadri has some work to do on his game but for me it's easier to be patient when looking at the company he's in. Could Kadri be looking at a 20 goal season next year? We'll find out.
And while some players drafted ahead of him have grabbed their NHL opportunities by the horns, the rest of his draft class has not exactly been lighting the world on fire. Of course, he'll be on the shelf for the first month of the season. Hardly the strong start that we were hoping out of him but how much will it impact his production?

I’m going to assume it’s NHL.
I’m saying he gets 30 points in approx. 65 games in the NHL.

I feel like he’s about 40pts in a healthy 82. If he misses a month I guess I feel like 26-30 is right since he’ll be missing some conditioning, etc.

I love how Gardiner, at 21, is getting the ‘kid’ treatment yet Kadri at 20, is supposed to an established NHler by now? Hell Luke Schenn is only 21 and they talk about him like a grizzled vet
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E"
Kadri = bust
B Schenn = best prospect in hockey

Hmmmm
So a knee injury qualifies as “simply not good enough”?

37
37 points in 74 GP. Half a point per game.

I don’t see him getting 74 games.
He’ll probably miss at least the first 6 games because of this injury. And then he probably goes down to the Marlies for at least a week or two to get his conditioning back.

Have they even confirmed that he’s gonna be staying with the Big Club yet?

Are we going to have polls, like we discussed during the summer, for recent hockey topics? Like B Schenn vs Kadri, 10-11 FLYERS vs 11-12 FLYERS, maybe 10-11 Atlanta vs 11-12 Winterpeg, etc. I can’t find the thread that we talked about it in but I really like the idea of this.

If the injury clears away and he establishes himself, I could see 35-40 pts because I would bet he would see time on the first and second line through the season due to injuries or suspensions.

26-35 points
He’s still young. Sure, he’ll see time on the PP, but he also might not see as much time 5v5 as he’s used to.
Not followin' @JPNikota on Twitter? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.
40 points seems do-able
