Continuing to be involved in trade rumours, Calgary Flames forward Nazem Kadri could be a potential fit with the Vancouver Canucks per analyst Darren Dregger. Ever since the blockbuster trade that stunned the National Hockey League world which sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar, the Flames have yet to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They've missed in each of the last 3 years, while the Panthers have made the SCF in each of those years, winning twice in a row. Another major move the Flames made during that summer was the signing of forward Nazem Kadri, who had just helped the Colorado Avalanche to their 1st Stanley Cup win since 2001. Kadri has found himself in <a href='https://www.houseofhockey.net/nhl-team/calgary-flames/sportsnet-links-five-teams-to-nazem-kadri-including-two-canadian-teams' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>multiple trade rumours</a> despite still having 4 years left on his contract, and per NHL analyst Darren Dreger, <a href='https://www.youtube.com/live/4rDsACJ-hvY?si=mJzvQTr4LAILG8Dj&fbclid=IwY2xjawNZEm5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFLWkpCRWw3WmVZOERIS1JOAR5D31LGm1woFqKPjoKATOfbEGX6fk3mM29xihPmbY8qX32ynCDk75NaQUVIzQ_aem_WVs_WXyGkdI_yuT05QYLwQ' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>could be a potential fit</a> with the divisional foe Vancouver Canucks, who want more depth at the center position. There'd be many teams with interest in Kadri, not just the Toronto Maple Leafs. You look around the Vancouver Canucks need some help. The Montreal Canadiens are still in the market and others around the league. All teams need that type of player and covet that type of player on the trade market. -Darren Dreger <h3>Nazem Kadri signed for 7 years with the Flames in the summer of 2022</h3> Kadri, who was taken 7th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, was part of a major trade to the Avalanche in the summer of 2019 for Tyson Barrie, Alexander Kerfoot and a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. After helping the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2022, Kadri was a high profile UFA and signed a 7 year contract with the Flames with a hefty AAV (average annual value) of $7 million. Last year with the Flames, he had 35 goals, a new career-best. He has 710 points (307G, 403A) in 985 career NHL games with the Maple Leafs, Avalanche and Flames.
