Line Change
Set to return from his suspension tomorrow, Kadri is skating with Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk.
The Maple Leafs have had a patchwork roster with Kadri, Tyler Bozak and Dave Bolland out, but Kadri's return will stabilize their top-6. The Leafs went 2-1-0 without Kadri. He has five goals and 14 points in 18 games and a spot on the first line should only help him produce even more.
Suspension
Kadri has been suspended for three games for his hit on Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom on Wednesday.
This is a tough break for the Maple Leafs who lose yet another centre. They are already without Tyler Bozak (hamstring) and Dave Bolland (ankle). He is not eligible to play until next Thursday vs. Nashville.
Suspension
Nazem Kadri will have a phone hearing this afternoon for the collision with Wild goalie Backstrom.
Kadri was also assessed a match penalty last night for a hit on Mikael Granlund, but the NHL viewed it primarily as a full body hit. Head was not primary point of contact. The penalty on ice fit the crime. We will update if a suspension is handed down.
Kadri injured his left hand a few shifts into the third period in last night's preseason game vs. Ottawa. X-rays on his hand came back negative.
Kadri should be considered day-to-day with the minor injury.
Nazem Kadri and the Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with $5.8 million.
Kadri signs the deal a day before training camp is set to open up. The 22-year-old forward scored 18 goals and added 26 assists (44 points) in 48 games last season. This was Kadri's first full NHL season so a 0.92 points-per-game is likely the reason these contract negotiations lasted so long. He enters the season as the Maple Leafs number 2 center, but will likely be the most valuable fantasy center on this roster.
Line Change
Nazem Kadri looks like he's going to get his shot.
The Maple Leafs trade Lombardi yesterday and are going to Waive Connolly today. This leaves the door open for Kadri to make the team and step in and make a difference. Kadri is a talented player so monitor him as the season moves along, if he can score... He's worth a fantasy look.

Nazem Kadri has been assigned to the AHL Marlies
With Tyler Bozak firmly entrenched on the top line, the team no longer needs Kadri to step up before he is ready. Look for him to dominate the AHL and come back up when a role opens up.
Line Change
Kadri won't play on upcoming road trip. Bet he goes to minors soon.
The re-emergence of Tyler Bozak has made Kadri an afterthought in Toronto. While his short-term fantasy hockey value certainly diminishes he should be a top-6 forward sooner rather than later.
Kadri says he could be ready by Saturday.
If healthy, Kadri should take Tyler Bozak's spot on the top line.
