There is no doubt that many Maple Leafs of Toronto Fans fail to have an attacker like Nazem Kadri around. THE Calgary flames The center was at the center of creeping speculation while Toronto seeks to add another top-six forward, and although a meeting can be a perfect adjustment, there seems to be nothing on the burner before in terms of a real affair.
However, that did not stop the whirling rumor mill, and Kadri has definitely heard the chatter. Speaking during the 12th Nazem Kadri Charity Golf Classic, The London, Ontario, native took the time to speak with Mike Stubbs and Kyle Grimard on “The Knight Shift” – A podcast was centered on the London Knights of the ONTHL. In the podcast, Stubbs spoke of part of the chatter in Ontario that surrounded the player.
“Unless I live in a box, I think I would hear it. I certainly heard a lot of speculation for sure, ”admitted Kadri. “It happened quite often. In the past two months, it is a bit weird to scroll and see your face and your name appear. Obviously, the rumor mill is quite strong, especially around these parts, and most of the time, these rumors can set fire, and this fire turns into bigger lights.”
Written seventh in total by the Maple Leafs in the NHL Draft 2009Kadri scored 161 goals and added 196 assists in 561 games in 10 seasons with the club. Kadri treated similar speculation when the leafs had sought to move it, first blocking a profession to the team he plays for the moment before Toronto sends it to the Colorado Avalanche In an agreement for defender Tyson Barrie and striker Alex Kerfoot. Kadri ended up Win a Stanley Cup with the avalanche in 2022.

While Toronto is looking for players who thrive under pressure to play under the spotlight, especially after the star Mitch Marner’s Departure to the Vegas Golden KnightsKadri is clearly a player not disturbed by noise, and speculation does not seem to disturb him in the interview.
“What do you know? And why not? I mean, there is not much in terms of sports at the moment,” said Kadri. “I think it’s definitely a subject to say, and well, why not talk about it?”
The current Maple Leafs GM Brad Treniving are the one who signed Kadri to a $ 49 million contract over seven years In the summer of 2022. Treliving became director general of the Leafs a year later in a departure which was not the most fluid since his departure from Calgary, because he left for a job with Toronto before the official expiration of his contract. Toronto was forced to keep Treliving Far from the floor of the NHL recovery Until the flames select in the first round, as part of the agreement to join the Leafs.
Since the separation of ways, Toronto and Calgary have not succeeded in any profession, despite the fact that Toronto is Interested in former defender of flames Chris Tanev and Nikita Zadorov. (THE Leafs signed Tanev to a six -year agreement In 2024 after having acquired your rights in a business with the stars of Dallas.)
Since Kadri plays the role of 1c in Calgary and that the career summit of 35 goals, it is difficult to see an agreement concluded from a realistic point of view.
But never say.
