Recent reports indicate a pause in discussions between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames regarding player Nazem Kadri. Initially, there was interest in acquiring Kadri to enhance the Canadiens’ lineup. However, since the trade for Phillip Danault, this interest seems to have diminished.
Kadri’s Situation with the Canadiens
Before the acquisition of Danault, the Canadiens were actively seeking a left-handed center to improve their faceoff performance.
