[Nazem Kadri Interview - Leafsnation](http://theleafsnation.com/2012/2/12/nazem-kadri-interview?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

**Obviously enough, you're still a young player. What was your objective going into this season? Was it more of a I-need-to-be-on-the-Leafs sort of mentality or you just hoped to get as many games in the NHL as you could?**

Ever since I was drafted my mentality is to play in the NHL. That's the goal. My goal is never accomplished until I've established myself as a full-time player in the NHLI mean, I just turned 21 a few months ago. Obviously, I've got to take some learning curves. And we got some extra bodies up there. I can assure I'm not going to be a disappointment. I'm going to be what everybody's expecting.

**How different is AHL Nazem Kadri from the NHL Nazem Kadri?**

I don't know if there really is much difference. Maybe I'm not touching the puck as much in the NHL. Up there the puck is never on my stick for more than 2 seconds. You get it and you're getting right back. While here you can hold on to it a little more, try to make some plays and step up for your team. I really don't think the things change so much. The fundamentals are still there. This is what they want to see when they're calling me back up.

More after the jump.

Teams are unwilling to call an end to their seasons and trade off players. I have a feeling this year is going to come back and bite a lot of teams ([Hurricanes](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/carolina-hurricanes?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)) in the ass.
