I do feel that Carlyle has had a part of Kadri playing centre in the AHL. When Eakins wasn't under managements radar, Kadri was playing wing to Zigomanis with Hamilton on the other side. Now (in a season with extra boddies) hes playing center and our most productive one. I believe he will be playing center on the top line... just a hunch. I dont see why the Marlies would have him at center if they planned to move him to the wing in the NHL. Makes no sense.

That's good to know. The games I watched this season he was playing wing and last season. Good to see he's been playing center. Wouldn't mind him replacing Bozak, would make the line up a lot easier to manage.
For him to get that spot though he's going to have to keep managing at least a PPG for the Marlies to be considered IMO.
