There wasn?t much second-guessing last season, when he finished with two more goals than McDavid, and the 19th most league-wide, while also getting under the skin of many of the guys ahead of him in the scoring race. Among players who scored 30 or more goals, none started in the defensive end more than Kadri, and it isn?t even close. He had a career-high 62.6 per cent defensive-zone starts, and the next best in that group didn?t even crack the 50 per cent mark ? Cam Atkinson of Columbus came in at 49.8.
