NHL Trade Rumors: Avalanche nearly reunited with Nazem Kadri before last-minute Nicolas Roy deal
The Colorado Avalanche explored a potential trade to bring back Nazem Kadri before the NHL trade deadline but ultimately shifted direction. Reports revealed Colorado and Calgary had a framework for a deal involving salary retention, yet Flames ownership halted the move. The Avalanche instead acquired Nicolas Roy from the Maple Leafs. Kadri, a key contributor to Colorado’s 2022 Stanley Cup victory, remains with Calgary for now, though his modified no trade clause leaves the door slightly open for future discussions.
