The chances of a Nazem Kadri trade have gone from slim to inevitable the past few weeks. Not only had he previously acknowledged that he was open to a move, but now he wants to be traded, says insider Darren Dreger . Several teams have been seriously connected to the Calgary Flames ' gritty center. We've heard about clubs like the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, and Detroit Red Wings that would love to get their hands on Kadri. But now for the first time, hi...
It’s been three weeks since we last watched our beloved Oilers do their thing, and it goes without saying that our last memories before the break weren’t exactly sparkling or overly positive. Edmonton lost back-to-back games to Toronto and Calgary in horrifying fashion, which meant Wednesday’s matchup with the Ducks had an extra layer of…
The Calgary Flames are firmly in asset-accumulation mode, and if teams want Mackenzie Weegar, the price won’t be cheap. According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen , league executives believe Calgary is seeking a top draft pick plus a high-end prospect or roster player in any potential deal for the veteran defenseman as the March 6 trade deadline approaches.

The NHL returns this week and we've already seen two trades go down on Tuesday, with several others expected this week. There's been no shortage of trade conversations taking place, and specifically looking at the blueline, there's several right-handed defencemen being discussed on ongoing discussions. Bruce Garrioch: A league executive told the Citizen that Brandon Carlo; Dougie Hamilton; Connor Murphy...and both Justin Faulk and Colton Parayko...are likely available - Ottawa Citizen As Garri...
Nazem Kadri admitted to the media this week that he has had discussions with Calgary Flames management about his future. And though he added that "I'll keep (it) private", you could say that another answer he gave sort of tipped his hand. I think everybody has to explore every avenue as to what's best for me, and what's best for the team. Whether that's here or not, I'm not quite sure, but I enjoy being here at the end of the day. I'm not a ‘one foot out the door’ kind of guy, wher...

With the gold medal awarded at the 2026 Winter Olympics and the NHL roster freeze lifted as of Sunday at midnight, the transactions are expected to really pick up ahead of the trade deadline just 12 days away. One name that could certainly be moved is Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen and according to recent reports, there are several teams interested in the hulking rearguard.
According to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco, the Flyers are receiving trade interest from at le...
The Calgary Flames are not a good team this season and continue to struggle with scoring. Dustin Wolf hasn't been able to hold them in the season like he did last season and the lack of goal-scoring has really been evident. Nazem Kadri isn't part of the problem in this regard as he leads the team with 39 points in 56 games, but much more than just him is needed. The veteran is 35 years old and is on the decline with three years left on his deal. There is interest from teams around the league a...
It's not a certainty that Nazem Kadri will be traded at the deadline or even this summer, but the heavy interest is there from teams desperate for a top-6/second line center with experience. The free agent market is never that good and teams will have to greatly overpay for someone if one is available. This is where the Calgary Flames come in. The team is near the bottom of the league and for the next couple of seasons, they aren't going to compete. Dustin Wolf is good, but will likely get bet...
The Calgary Flames should have a lot on the table in terms of players that are available to trade this season, and already started their trading early by moving Rasmus Andersson and acquiring a first-round pick, second-round pick, and Zach Whitecloud. In terms of the players that have had some noise around them, the list includes Nazem Kadri, Blake Coleman, and even Mackenzie Weegar dominantly, but nothing on Yegor Sharangovich, whether that means there's no interest or the Flames are interest...
The Calgary Flames are going through some changes, and this season it started with Rasmus Andersson, a pending UFA, heading to the Vegas Golden Knights . The Flames have a number of young players they'd like to get in the NHL or see take control of the team with better opportunities quickly, but can't really do that with certain players hanging around. Blake Coleman is one of the players I'm talking about and David Pagnotta said, "A lot of smoke. I would be surprised if he's not moved by the d...
The Calgary Flames appear to be somewhat open to going into a rebuild. They have some talented young pieces and plenty of players that they can move for more assets. They may not want to tear it completely down, but while sitting 29th in the NHL this season, there is interest coming their way for a number of their players. One name in particular that is intriguing and would be a big one is Mackenzie Weegar. David Pagnotta said, "They haven't approached him about his no-trade. There's already s...
Nazem Kadri isn't the only valued center on the trade market these days, cooling trade talk a bit latey . But that doesn't mean teams aren't still trying to acquire the gritty, intense, playoff-ready center. With teams like his former club, the Colorado Avalanche, along with the Dallas Stars, the Carolina Hurricanes, and Montreal Canadiens being some of the more talked-about suitors for the Calgary Flames' veteran, there's a new surprise team revealed that's got Kadri on its radar as wel...
Nazem Kadri was one of the buzziest centers on the rumor mill for the first half of the season, despite the fact that neither he nor the Calgary Flames were interested in a trade. More recently, we learned that Kadri actually would be open to a trade, to the right spot. Nevertheless, his trade market seems to have quieted a bit, and according to insider Elliotte Friedman , writing in his 32 Thoughts column for Sportsnet, there are two reasons for that. And they're named Vince...
Leon Draisaitl didn’t call anyone out. He didn’t rip anyone. He simply told the harsh truth about the current state of the Edmonton Oilers. Draisaitl wasn’t yelling or angry in his post-game scrum after another disappointing loss, the third this season, to the Calgary Flames. Draisaitl just spoke the truth, and he did it how…
Ironically, it was one of his best games in quite some time. But last night's contest will be the last of the season for Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau. He has been struggling with a hip injury, and will now undergo season-ending hip resurfacing surgery. Last night: Jonathan Huberdeau scored the first goal in Calgary's 4-3 victory over Edmonton. That will be his final game of the 2025-26 season. Huberdeau needs hip surgery, but wanted one final game for the Flames -- and made ...
The Edmonton Oilers entered Wednesday night’s game against the Calgary Flames with one goal in mind: get a win before the Olympic break. The best they could do was muster up a 4-3 loss, and for one of their leaders, Leon Draisaitl, to call out the goaltenders, the coaching staff, and the team as a…
The Edmonton Oilers front office went to work immediately after Wednesday’s loss to the Calgary Flames, assigning two players to the Bakersfield Condors. Josh Samanski and Calvin Pickard have been sent down to the AHL, the club announced, but whether either will play there remains to be seen. The #Oilers have assigned forward Josh Samanski…
The Edmonton Oilers are dropping points to bad teams. On Wednesday evening, the Oilers played their final game against the Calgary Flames this season, falling 4-3 to head into the Olympic break. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The first period was full of penalties. Calgary received the first one,…
The Calgary Flames are drifting deeper into seller territory as March 6 gets closer, but don’t expect Yegor Sharangovich to be the domino that falls. Even with his name tossed around as a possible trade candidate, the word is there’s just not much real traction on the 27-year-old right now, which says plenty about where his value sits around the league.

A big part of it is timing, and a big part of it is the contract. Sharangovich loo...
The question is which team will be the fire tonight.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will be finishing up their last two games before the Olympic break shorthanded on defence, as the team announced Monday that Morgan Rielly is dealing with an upper-body injury, and will not suit up in game action until the Olympics conclude. Rielly was hurt in the Leafs/Vancouver Canucks game on Saturday night, and will miss the last two games of the Leafs road trip Monday and Tuesday against the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. Word is the injury is something that h...
