Seems like a guy trying to force the issue because the team is struggling.
Weegar-Tanev have not worked as a tandem, it's time to try something different. Andersson hasn't looked very good either. Pairings need to be shaken up and we need to find a way to utilize Weegar better.
This feels like the 19/20 season when Peters panicked and destroyed the lineup.

That was one of the scouting reports on Kadri back when he was still a prospect, that he would hold onto the puck too long trying to make a move. Or he felt a desire to skate through the whole team, who had talent to dish the puck off, but at times waited too long to try.
He will figure it out here, I am sure. However, he is still a number 2 centre overall, so to expect him to carry this team is unrealistic. (Not saying anyone here is asking him to do that).
