Overview
- TSN’s Darren Dreger says the Canadiens, Canucks and Maple Leafs have inquired about Kadri, yet he cautions the timing is not right for a move.
- Pierre LeBrun reports Montreal has internally mapped potential center targets and included Kadri, reflecting the club’s search for a bona fide 2C.
- Elliotte Friedman and David Pagnotta note teams are checking whether they’re on Kadri’s active 13-team no-trade list, which has heightened inquiries.
- Calgary is viewed as in no rush to deal its leading scorer, and Pagnotta and Dreger indicate a trade would likely require an overpayment or a shift toward a rebuild.
- Montreal’s cap space and draft picks strengthen its position, but analysts highlight Kadri’s age and term even as his underlying numbers remain strong on a struggling Flames team.
