So, [Nazem Kadri's](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) season [is over](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nazem-kadri-suspended-done-for-the-season/). He's done, and going out in a pretty disgraceful way: two separate fines for diving, followed up by sacrificing even more money by being suspended. And it's not a great look.

It does, however, take away from what he has managed this season. In a year the [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) were expected to be one of the absolute worst in the NHL (the [Oilers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/edmonton-oilers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) aside because, man, the Oilers), Kadri ended up being their leading scorer. And even though he'll be missing the final four games, his 45 points aren't likely to be topped.

Second in Leafs scoring is [P.A. Parenteau](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54205/p-a-parenteau?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who has 38 points. Is he going to score seven or eight points over the next four games? It's certainly possible, but not particularly likely.

So say what you will for point-per-game values - and indeed, [Tyler Bozak](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [James van Riemsdyk](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/70845/james-van-riemsdyk?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) would have Kadri beat there - but Kadri will probably be the Leafs' leading scorer of 2015-16.

And that's... not a particularly high number.

> With Kadri suspended for season, he will finish with 45 points, likely team leader in scoring. Fewest pts to lead Maple Leafs since 1957.

Hey, hopefully guys like [William Nylander](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/246220/william-nylander?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Mitch Marner](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/257874/mitchell-marner?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will rescue the Leafs from that very, very soon. (And a healthy JvR and the like, too!) This wasn't supposed to be a good season - hopefully that's the last of that.
