  • Conroy already stopped those rumors. He said Kadri is an important piece of the roster moving forward
  • @weatheredtome
    People suggesting Calgary will retain 50% for that number of years are absolutely insane
  • @CP4Z167
    Would be surprised if a team takes him on. Kadri is 34 and still has 5 years left at 7 million AVV (that’s a big contract)
  • @DJDinnerPlaTe
    As a flames fan, I hope not. He had good chemistry with Zary & Popsicle, need vets to mentor the young guns. At least for a few years to lessen the burden of moving that contract
  • @anpc86
    It's right time to rebuild with Edmonton and Vancouver being where they are. Get a proper team when the new flames arena opens
  • I would like if it happens, but you also gotta hit the cap floor without holding 5 years worth of dead salary. Seems doubtful

    Kadri is a "center' and the 'center' position is one of the most important positions because you have to play at both ends of the ice. The 'center' position is tough to fill and tough to play. 7 million is a bargain for that position and he has been in the league since he was 18 years old meaning he has lots of experience and was well coached. Center position on a line should be paid the most. Naz is a mentor and having the experience is valuable and will help the young prospects with confidence and progression. He has had Randy Carlyle, Ron Wilson, Mike Babcock, Dave Tippet, Peter Deboer, Dave Hunter as coaches. The guy is "well coached' understands the game and the position. Brings value and great vibes. Do your research around the league and compare the "center" position salary with the others and their productivities. You will find the answer to the question. That is Do you think Flames will move Nazem Kadri?
  • As long as Kadri keeps his edge , plays disciplined and spikes his GAF meter he can stay. He needs to be more consistent. This isnt a retirement home and theres no excuse for tsking gsmes off!!!
  • Now with Markstrom gone, mainstream media has to harp on another storyline. Kadri is leaving? Oh no, another player not staying in their current Canadian market. Clutch your pearls people. The drama. The drama.
  • Hopefully detroit can work a trade, copp for Kadri. Wouldn't mind giving a first and a third for him if they retain enough for him to only make 5 off of detroit.
  • Canadian hockey media is the worst! This isn't even a story stop making rumors because you have nothing else to talk about!

    Hope the Flames don't trade all their good players away when they get good that's what they do all the time when they get good they always trade away their Stars
