I agree that if you average his entire career then Kadri is a 24G, 57P player, pretty much on par with last season. However in his last 3 seasons in Colorado Kadri averaged 27G, and 71P(prorated to 82GP) before joining the Flames.
I thought that the Mangiapane - Kadri - Dube line was great to start last season, it generated a ton of chances, but they didn't finish as much which I attribute to Mangiapane's injury. Kadri seemed actually quite good offensively up until the all-star break. It's the defensive zone play, and the man to man D where his play seemed to suffer.

Kadri was also only typically given 3rd line minutes in Toronto behind Matthews, Tavares, etc...Kadri putting up 50 points in Toronto from the 3rd line actually makes him one of the most productive 3rd liners in the NHL. Using his Toronto numbers to assess his ceiling isn't really fair.
