I never liked Kadri's style of play, his unsportsmanlike attitude and his lack of discipline. A small, pesty centre, perennial 2nd-to-3rd line tweener. I would have hated excusing his tantrums just because he'd be on the Flames. Quite happy it didn't work out.
Despite being "much more talented" Kadri's career high in goals and points remains higher than Kane's. Kadri always plays the more important position, and has a much better two way game.

Nazem Kadri over Evander Kane, and it's not even f'n close
