Now, that's not to infer Nazzy was out of shape last season. Babcock clarified right away: \"I think Naz had the best summer (of preparation) since I have known him, for sure. You arrive with legs and you feel like you are getting going and you get some traction.\" Kadri has thrived in an abrasive, defensive role and set career marks with 32 goals and 61 points last season, all while driving opposing stars like Alexander Ovechkin and Connor McDavid snaky. Kadri's commitment to offseason training is a reflection of his maturity as a man and player. He understands the commitment Babcock has made to him and he wants to continue to be an impact player. Fantasy owners will reap the rewards of this commitment this season.","date":"Fri Sep 15"},"fullName":"Nazem Kadri","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Kadri turned in a monster cross-category showing with career highs in goals (32), points (61) and PIM (95) last season. However, it could be difficult to stave off a decline in scoring in 2017-18. Auston Matthews is poised to take on a larger offensive role, and Kadri should continue to match up against the opposition's top players. Kadri also isn't going repeat his 31.6 shooting percentage with the man advantage. However, he was one of just six players to record 25 goals, 40 points, 75 PIM and 150 shots last season, so his ability to move the needle across multiple categories makes him a valuable commodity. As long as expectations are kept in check for his offensive output, Kadri projects to turn in another solid fantasy campaign.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Wed Sep 13"},"positionRank":12}
