Colorado Avalanche weigh Nazem Kadri reunion as the trade rumor mill heats up. Could Kadri be the 3C answer, or will contract terms become a stumbling block? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down insider reports linking the Avalanche to Kadri, the team’s need for center depth, salary retention hurdles, and whether a return makes sense for both sides. The hosts also compare Kadri’s situation to Panarin’s, debate Calgary’s willingness to retain salary, and assess Kadri’s potential fit in Colorado’s power play and third line.
The Avalanche’s minor trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins is unpacked, raising speculation about future moves ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Key storylines include Devon Toews’ impending return, reactions to Anaheim Ducks’ recent hot streak, and a candid listener (Zach’s daughter) mailbag about the hosts rooting interests outside of Colorado. Get all the latest on Colorado’s evolving roster, bold trade scenarios, and the hunt for Stanley Cup contention.

Kadri 7m Colton 4m im sure they could get that math to math.
the rumors are dumb we aint trading for him when hes in year 4 of a 7 year contract for 7 mil even with the cap going up ,until caLE GETS LOCKED UP they cant be looking at those contracts , cale , then we gotta resign lekky , it would hurt us long term more than help us to get him unless we could flip him right away but then why even get him in the first place , are we just trying to win the cup this year then take another 4-7 year break again ? or are we trying to win multiple cups now in our 6 year window . pretty sure cmac and joe and done with rental players aswell no more 1-2 year contracts , trying to build now and keep long term and build the one thing money cant buy chemistry
Will Nuke be back playing tomorrow?
Sorry boys but as a flames/Avs fan ive gotta say this is one massive pipe dream first he probably will wanna be 2C cause its Kadri the dude has a ton of confidence in his ability. next the Avs have nothing of value to give up the Avs 1st is going to be at the bottom since the Avs are number one unless we're willing to give up either Brindley or malinski which are neither pieces I wanna lose
Did someone say Kadri?
Seven Million for a 3C? They let Coyle go making only five million. Who do you trade in order to get Kadri? Not gonna happen. Shouldn't happen.
Am I like the only Colorado fan that understands Kadri was not good in Colorado except for our cup run I know somehow he's a fan favorite but he's not even close to as good as Brock Nelson. Would be a complete waste of money and assets
