Pierre Lebrun in the Athletic echoing other media members, saying ownership doesn't want to move Kadri:
"The problem, of course, is that there are few sellers with the standings so jammed up. Calgary and St. Louis are listening, for sure. But Flames ownership doesn’t want Nazem Kadri traded (he would be an obvious fit for Montreal). We’ll see if that changes over time. The Flames are in no hurry to move Blake Coleman, either, if they move him at all. But I could see the Canadiens also keeping an eye on that name"
Will be interesting to see if this is all posturing, or if Edwards is actually this stubborn about rebuilding
