A week ago, while the Leafs were still playing Boston and the length of this playoffs was still unknown, Bob McKenzie talked about Nazem Kadri on his Bobcast. I’ve been thinking this over ever since. And it needs a discussion.
McKenzie talks about a TV panel he was on just after the suspension was announced, and their discussion of how that might affect Kadri’s future. He relates that the panel thought the idea that the Leafs would knee-jerk get rid of Kadri because of this suspension to be absurd. They brushed it off, and McKenzie agrees, up to a point.
