Backlund was pushed back on the depth chart which and allowed him to play where he probably would play on 90% of contending teams. Kadri finished with 56 points and usually its safe to assume for every 10 points the player is worth 1 million. So he played like a 5.5 million dollar player that also opened up the ice for a player in his mid-30’s to have a career year and exceed his point totals from the year before by 17 points.

Kadri was without a doubt the best forward for the first 1/3 of the season. He definitely still has it in him to be a great player.
