Nazem Kadri teases potential comeback to the Toronto Maple Leafs on social media

Nazem Kadri entered the NHL as a promising force to be reckoned with. Over 15 years ago, in the 2009 NHL Draft, he was selected 7th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

After spending a decade with the team and playing only one full season, Toronto decided Kadri held more trade value. The Toronto Maple Leafs then traded him to the Colorado Avalanche for defenseman Tyson Barrie.

However, following a Stanley Cup victory with the Avs, he had to relocate to a new team. Kadri joined the Calgary Flames just three years after rejecting a trade that was proposed in 2019.

David Pagotta from the Fourth Period reports that Calgary has officially begun exploring the trade market for this 33-year-old forward.

While no official trade announcement has been made regarding Nazem Kadri, the forward has hinted at his potential next NHL destination. According to his Instagram bio, the 33-year-old forward may be poised for a return to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Despite holding a full no-move clause, negotiating a deal that suits the veteran forward could prove challenging. However, his impressive stats of 29 goals and 46 assists in the 2023-24 regular season highlight his potential value to Calgary, and he remains a viable option for his original NHL team in Toronto.
