Tire-kicking on Nazem Kadri with term scaring some
TSN: Teams are wondering what’s next for the Calgary Flames after they traded Rasmus Andersson over the weekend. Darren Dreger said that there are ongoing talks between the Flames and Nazem Kadri‘s camp. Kadri would really like to win a cup, but he also desires to do what’s best for the Flames. There may be nothing imminent, but there’s interest.
“I’d say there’s some developing interest. There’s been tire-kicking from Toronto, Montreal, Colorado, LA, possibly the Dallas Stars. But there’s still numerous work to get done, and there’s no rush so far as Calgary is anxious.”
Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet: The 35-year-old Nazem Kadri can still hold his own as a No. 2 center. He’s got three years left at $7 million, and the Flames are usually not in a rush to maneuver him. His age and the term left on his contract are making some teams cautious and it’s reflective on what they’d be willing to offer up for him.

The Calgary Flames must be trying to maximize Blake Coleman’s return, but there’s no guarantee he’s moved
TSN: Flames GM Craig Conroy told Pierre LeBrun that it’s a tricky decision for them to make with Nazem Kadri and Blake Coleman. He’s taking calls, but it surely’s not of course that they’ll move them as they appear to get younger.
“They’re quite able to keep Coleman; he’s a very important leader in that dressing room, but they’ll’t say 100 per cent because there is perhaps a proposal that puts it excessive, given the interest that there’s in the marketplace for Coleman.”
Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet: The 34-year-old Coleman has one other yr left on his contract at slightly below $5 million. He’s a flexible forward who can put the puck in the online. They must be trying to maximize their return on him, and he’s generating loads of interest.

J.T. Miller isn’t all for leaving, and the Recent York Rangers wouldn’t ask him to waive his NMC
TSN: Recent York Rangers GM Chris Drury has met with all his players who’ve no-movement clauses, including Artemi Panarin and J.T. Miller. Miller’s name has been on the market, in accordance with Pierre LeBrun, who shouldn’t be sure why. But he’s not all for waiving, and so they’re not all for asking him to waive his NMC.
“What I used to be told today is that Miller has no intention of waiving his no-move clause, and the Rangers haven’t any intention of going to him and asking to waive it. They traded for him last yr, they made him captain, and so they still imagine within the the explanation why they made that move. Miller mustn’t be a part of whatever exodus of players leaves Recent York.”
