Not bitter, just unsweetened
A couple GMs are taking Kadri as a wake up call o_O

“I saw him around Christmas with the Marlies,” said Phoenix general manager Don Maloney. “He didn’t do much. And I thought, you know, maybe he’s not going to make it.

“And we all make the same mistake in this business. We want to rush our kids and have them play right away. We want to make snap decisions. And when they don’t do what we want, too often we give up on them.”

“I didn’t see that coming,” said Maloney of the Kadri development in his first full Leafs season in this shortened NHL campaign. “But isn’t that the lesson in all this? You’ve got to let your players develop. We’re all guilty of not doing that.”

“It’s amazing what he’s doing,” said Doug Armstrong, general manager of the St. Louis Blues. “I don’t think anybody expected this, this soon.”

“Everyone in our business should take note of this,” said Armstrong. “We’re all guilty of wanting more and asking too much of our young players. We’re all guilty of impatience. And when a player doesn’t meet our expectations, we turn to someone else."

“We used to draft Europeans and not even bring them over until they were 22, 23, 24. And they played right away. But we draft these kids at 18 and we’re not willing to wait on them. And you see something like this and you realize how wrong you can be.”

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Also, for those that didn't see the video of Brodeur's 3rd career goal/PPG:
