Kypros (I know) latest trade board has Kadri on it.


Quote:
Another Flames trade candidate, Nazem Kadri's situation is far less pressing than Andersson's. He has four years remaining on his contract, makes $7 million against the salary cap, and has a full no-movement clause through 2025-26. After next season, Kadri will have a modified no-trade clause for the final three years of his deal.

So why is he on this list? First, there are a lot of teams in need of a top-six centre around the NHL, so it should be a seller's market for anyone willing to give one up. He'll turn 35 in October, has won a Stanley Cup, and is still playing at a high level. Kadri scored 67 points this past season and a career-high 35 goals.

The Flames are building up their young team and while Kadri could still possibly be a contributing piece when some of the youth blossoms, a trade now could also bring Calgary a package that would help them more in the long-term. And that return would improve if the Flames also retain salary. Currently they are only retaining salary on Jacob Markstrom for one more season.

Two teams that Kadri continues to be linked to and appear to be willing to lift his no-move clause for are the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto’s Brad Treliving has tried numerous times to trade with his old club in the past only to be shut down by the Flames on Tanev, Zadorov and Andersson, so it may be a stretch for the Leafs to land Kadri.


The Habs have some very interesting pieces.

I would be using the Brock Nelson deal as a template and asking for a protected 1st + Hage.
