Nazem Kadri hints at a return to the Toronto Maple Leafs via Social Media
With summer trades underway, the Calgary Flames officially placed former Toronto Maple Leaf forward Nazem Kadri on the trade market.
Nazem Kadri headed into the NHL looking like a true force to be reckoned with. When the 2009 NHL Draft hit just over 15 years ago, he was taken 7th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
After a decade with the team and only one full season played, Toronto felt Kadri had more value in a trade deal. The Toronto Maple Leafs then traded him to the Colorado Avalanche for defenseman Tyson Barrie.
Yet, after a Stanley Cup win with the Avs, he had to move to another team. Kadri joined the Calgary Flames only three years after vetoing a trade that would have occurred in 2019.
According to David Pagotta of the Fourth Period, Calgary is officially looking to explore the trade market for this 33-year-old forward.

With a full no-move clause, finding a deal that would work for the veteran forward may have been difficult. Yet, with 29 goals and 46 assists in the 2023-24 regular season, he may bring some value to Calgary's table and certainly would have a place back with his original NHL home in Toronto.
