Sorry if I struck a nerve with the "trolling" dig, but seriously, he's underperforming, like Frank said. Apparently all you guys think he's not. There you have it, another unresolvable hockey internet brawl.
What all us guys are trying to say is that there's a difference between under-peforming and under-producing. I'll give you the 2nd one, that's obvious. But Kadri's been performing like the best forward on this team.
That's a pretty trivial distinction C. We're talking about the forward with the most amount of ice-time on the team.
This distinction is what is at the core of the disagreement.
You can't get good production without good performance, so often the two are considered synonymous. However, it is possible to perform without producing due to the aforementioned variables in every shot on goal (blocks, chippy ice, puck on edge, 2 mm on the wrong side of the post, etc.) that are not within the player's control.
