Nazem Kadri now has a 13-team no-trade list, but the Calgary Flames won’t be trading him anytime soon

Ron MacLean: “So the Flames’ rocky start. You opened the Nazem Kadri story.”
Friedman: “Okay, obviously there’s a lot going on here, and Kadri, because he’s a hugely popular player and a very good one, there’s a lot of attention on him.
NHL Injuries: Bruins, Hurricanes, Stars, Canadiens, Devils, Penguins, Maple Leafs and more
First of all, there’s zero chance, zero, he’s going anywhere before he plays game number 1,000. He’s now ranked 994. It’s obviously a big deal for him, his family and the Flames, and nothing will happen until the thousandth game is played soon.
The other thing is that this week it was announced that his trading status had changed. He no longer has a full no-trade clause. He has a 13-team no-trade list. And I really think Ron, one thing that’s happening is all these teams are trying to figure out, am I on that list? Because if he is, and I want him, what do we have to do to convince him that he can come to us if Calgary decides to go that route?”
The Vancouver Canucks inquired again about Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on the speculation surrounding the Vancouver Canucks’ search for a centerman, and their connections to Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha.

“The other thing we wanted to check on was Pavel Zacha and Vancouver. My friend Rick Dhaliwal reported that the Canucks contacted the Bruins this week about Zacha. That’s true, and I think it’s been going on for a while. I think going all the way back to the summer, the Canucks and Bruins have been on/off about this.
Zacha is not in the final year of his deal. He has one year left. Teams are looking for centers. Boston doesn’t have to do anything here that it doesn’t want to do, but this has been a bit of a dance for the Canucks and a few other teams to see if they can pry Zacha out of there.

But in this case there is one thing about Vancouver: and don’t believe they are on Zacha is not a trade list.
