Trade rumours picking up with Calgary Flames' Kadri β could he head back to the Leafs?

π Kadri Trade Rumours Keep Swirling — But Don’t Bet on It Yet
Even though Nazem Kadri seems happy in Calgary and just came off a solid season (35 goals and 67 points π₯), his name keeps popping up in trade talks. The guy plays with playoff grit and regular-season punch — basically, he’s built for clutch moments, which every team in the NHL wants.
But let’s not forget:
Kadri’s contract runs for four more years, with a $7 million cap hit and a full no-move clause until the end of 2025–26. That means he has total control — he’s not going anywhere unless he wants to.
Could that change? Possibly. Kadri is 34, ultra-competitive, and you know he’s hungry for another Cup. If a juicy playoff-contending opportunity comes up, he might consider it — emphasis on might.
One team people keep mentioning is his old squad, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Fans still regret the day they traded him away in 2019, and with Mitch Marner gone, the Leafs actually have cap space to play with now. A Kadri reunion? Sounds nostalgic, but right now, it’s just smoke — no fire.
π What to watch:
Kadri’s no-move clause turns into a 13-team no-trade list after next season. That’s when things could really heat up. But for now, it looks like he’s staying a Flame.
