pretty sure that's higher than Mr Unsustainable Shooting Percentage himself
Well I'd rather have the guy shooting at the unsustainable shooting percentage than the guy shooting at 0%. I don't think anyone thinks Kadri will have 36G, 24A in 48 games this season, but the fact is that he has been damned good so far this season. I'm definitely not going to say that Kadri is better in every facet of the game, or even that he's the better player overall yet (although I will say he has been by far this season), but I do hope that his play silences all the haters that he seems to have on these boards. Frankly, it's incredible that you guys are finding ways to hate on a guy that has scored 5 points in 4 games and has been arguably his team's best player.
Another thing, his shooting percentage is high because of great positional play, all 3 of his goals have come from being in the right spot on the ice. Obviously his average is going to go down, but the way he is scoring his goals is encouraging.
Now obviously he isn't going to get these fortunate bounces all season, but generally when it seems like a player is in the right place at the right time consistently, it isn't a coincidence. Kadri has been playing very smart hockey rather than trying to razzle and dazzle like he has in past stints in the NHL.
Being a Sens fan, I'm sure you're not biased at all.

Anyways, Kadri's had a great start, however this should be a close points race. Kadri's actually been very solid defensively as well. Been our best forward, or atleast after Kulemin.

So you're saying that your post is an all-encompassing analysis about both players?
There is absolutely nothing left to discuss because your post analyzes every aspect of hockey.
Ok, well if you and others actually believe that, then I guess we're done here.
But how about you give me a rebuttal after I linked an article as to why those stats could be skewed (also because of their small sample size).
When statistics are all we have to go by, they are the most accurate parameters in the debate. If we dont use statistics that may be skewed then it comes down to reputation and personal biased opinion. Again, because they can be skewed, we have to disregard anything that goes against what you personally believe. Sounds good.

You're not understanding my point.
I said:
A. That sample, because of how small it is, is so volatile (statistically speaking) where puck luck, or lack thereof, can play a huge role.
Case in point, the article that I linked. You seem to post statistics without any context, so I provided context behind Schenn's output so far. He has not gotten the puck luck when he is on the ice. That's a fact.
B. Your post is not an all-encompassing analysis about the players.

So, regardless of any discrepancies in precision of the statistics, the deviations from what should be expected likely aren't off significantly enough to discredit Kadri as NEC in terms of a defensive comparisons. Regardless of the inaccuracies provided, there is nothing that suggests the two are not equal, if Kadri is not better, calibre players.

Youre preaching to the choir here, I love Kadri and have since watching him in the AHL. Kid has some serious talent and the only thing he's done wrong at the NHL level is play for the leafs
Even tho Kadri has more goals, assists and points per game he is clearly a bust and will easily be out scored by Schenn this year.
to be fair, and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Schenn start out with Giroux and Kadri started on the second line? Would be very believable that Schenn would outscore Kadri at that time, when most made their votes

Kadri is on and started on the third line actually. Its very close and could go either way, what I am taking issue with are those who act like Kadri doesn't have a chance to out score Schenn.

Schenn is essentially a full year younger so Kadri just barely edging him in career NHL statistics is not all that impressive. Schenn stuck as a 20 year old on a very deep, strong Flyers team. You can't punish him for not scoring that much while Kadri played mostly in the AHL at 20 and 21.

Same draft, same number of years of development. Yes Philly is a very deep team but that also means Schenn has gotten to play with better linemates than Kadri has.

With all due respect, this is a weak argument. They are in the same draft year and their prime years will be intertwined so matching them head to head is perfectly acceptable. I still have Schenn putting more points this season, but right now, its more 54% certain rather than 80% like it was before.
Like I said, Kadri has always been more dynamic offensively, in the 09 draft Bob McKenzie quoted Dale Hunter and his thoughts that Kadri's offensive talents and pedigree should be up there with Tavares and Duchene. While those guys have produced and been in the NHL for 4 years now and I'm certainly not comparing Kadri to those guys as of now, his offensive potential and ability is remarkable and the sky's the limit with the kid. Having watched all the games this season, you can see his defensive ability improve dramatically, he's a plus, he's creating turnovers and limiting his turnovers. I love Schenn, huge fan of his when he was playing for the Brandon Wheat Kings and he reminds me a lot of a Mike Richards kind of guy. 60 point guy solid 2 way guy in his prime and Kadri for me is a guy who could push past that in any given year depending on summer preparation, linemates, luck, he's a potential 80 point guy. It's tough to judge right now. Bring this poll back up in three years. Reminds me a lot of the Brassard vs Giroux poll.
Wow, this post provided exactly thze kind of **** its title promised.
Flyers fans: Schenn AINEC Leafs fans: Kadri AINEC
It`s actually rather close and they are both kinda underwhelming.
You'll be hard pressed to find any Leaf fans saying that in this thread actually.
Its been
Flyers, Leaf haters: "Schenn AINEC, stupid to think otherwise"
Leafs fans: Split on Kadri/Schenn or just arguing about how it is indeed close.
I've loved what I've seen from Kadri so far. He's so skilled and has improved every part of his game and is even playing centre full time. The sky's the limit. He's leading the leafs in scoring from the third line ffs.
It's amazing how people on HF were writing him off and calling him a huge bust. Lmfao
