Some serious talk right now going on around Calgary’s Nazem Kadri… It is amazing to see how quickly some teams are getting to work on trade possibilities this year. There’s a definite sense of desperation that we haven’t seen in quite some time now. I talked to a couple GM’s and the general feeling out there is that everybody is so close to each other, so GMs are looking for that one way to separate from the group.
And one option right now is definitely Nazem Kadri. Calgary Flames were a playoff team last year and yet there is definitely a feeling that a rebuild or more likely a retooling is underway… And one resource the Flames know they have is Kadri. Any team looking towards the playoffs is going to be interested… And for good reason….. The three teams who are rumored to be involved all are teams that need to make the playoffs, and yet Detroit, Montreal and Pittsburgh could all be considered teams” on the bubble…”
Teams where one more piece could be the difference…
I will be keeping a strong eye on this one… Calgary might want to strike while the iron is hot right now..
