| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“He's big, lanky and skilled. He uses his size to
accentuate his puck skills. Size, reach, stick handling ability, those
long kinds of stick movements that Mario (Lemieux) used to make, like
(Vincent) Lecavalier makes.” "Slick forward with very good puck skills. Able to
slide off checks and is dangerous with the puck in the offensive zone." "Kadri brings a lot of flash-'n-dash to the rink
with top end speed, quick hands, and slick, creative moves. But he does
play too much of a one-on-one game and doesn't get his linemates
involved enough. Despite having a slightly built frame, he tends to be
an abrasive agitator and is at his best on those nights when he brings
passion to the rink — which he only does sporadically." |
