Toronto Maple Leafs Assistant GM Kyle Dubas reiterated those thoughts to Sportsnet.
“I know with Mike [Babcock], he’s put it to Naz and he expects him to be an elite player, he expects him to reach his potential, and if he does that he’s going to play a ton and he’s going to score a lot … he’ll have the chance to take us to the bank.”
That’s just fine with Dubas.
“If he reaches his potential, we’ll be happy to pay him.” (Sportsnet)
Nazem Kadri doesn’t get enough credit for being a very good hockey player.
