NHL Rumors: Dallas and Calgary Talking Nazem Kadri
Steve Kouleas: “The freeze is over at 11:59 on the twenty second then now we have 12 days. I see in your list here that Nazem Kadri is on the seven hole. Will you guarantee that Kadri just isn’t a Flame on March 7, Dave?”
Dave Pagnotta: “I won’t guarantee anything, but I will definitely say that if the precise offer is there, Calgary will make that move, in the event that they feel that it’s the precise one. He’s relayed to the team that in the event that they are able to maneuver him, he’s open to that. I imagine they’ve an inventory of teams that he would accept the trade to, and between him and Coleman and maybe MacKenzie Weegar, perhaps others on this team. Ryan Lomberg is one other one. He’s a pending UFA, but he’s been generating some interest as well.
I don’t think Calgary goes to be a one-and-done by moving (Ramus) Andersson already. I feel they’re going to have a number of more things up their sleeve that they’re going to try to perform.”

NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild, and the Ottawa Senators
Nate Thompson: “Dave, the rumour is that the Wild is in search of one other first, second-line center with term. What players may be on the market and under term that might be available for the Wild?”
Dave Pagnotta: “I circle back to (Vincent) Trocheck for Minny. I feel that’s anyone is on their radar. I don’t know in the event that they’ve had in depth conversations yet, but that’s definitely a player of interest. And clearly, Bill Guerin has got familiarity with the player with USA. I feel they’re going to take a look at a number of others and see what’s, what’s there.
I mean, appear like I’ve been mentioning Columbus. I feel they’re going to have a conversation with Charlie Coyle‘s camp to see in the event that they can get something done. If not even with them on a heater immediately, I can definitely see Coyle being a goal for lots of teams, including Minnesota. I’ve got to assume that guys like Ryan O’Reilly and Brayden Schenn are going to be on their radar as well.
NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche
Now in division, so complicates things. I don’t know Nashville, unless there’s an overpayment, really desires to part with O’Reilly immediately. But Schenn could definitely be a goal from that side of things, too.
So this, these next couple of weeks, are really going to assist dictate a number of the market, and if a few of these players develop into available because their teams feel they will’t sign them today to extensions, and so they’re higher off attempting to get assets and lose them for nothing in July, that would open things up for a team like Minnesota, that’s fishing.”
