Remember all that "loves the spotlight" chatter last summer? So much for that. He's supposed to be Tkachuk-lite for straddling the line. He didn't bring any of that.
It's very obvious when that guy is trying. I've seen it nearly every season prior to last.
Hopefully it was a Sutter issue.

Tkachuck played some pretty uninspired hockey at times as well. After the Muzzin pick flip he seemed to distance himself from the team. He also made a point to bring up his drop in ice time after Sutter took over.
There probably are several factors but I’m inclined to think we will see a more competitive, more engaged Kadri on more consistent basis this year.
