Flames could trade Nazem Kadri at peak value, claims insider (Imagn Images)
With the Calgary Flames drifting toward a rebuild, the trade winds around veteran forward Nazem Kadri are growing louder. NHL insider Nick Kypreos recently suggested Kadri's trade value 'has never been higher,' sparking fresh buzz about whether the Flames might finally consider parting ways with one of their most consistent contributors.
As the offseason unfolds, the front office faces a critical decision: ride with experience or cash in while the demand peaks.
Flames face a defining moment amid mounting trade interest
Nazem Kadri's name has hovered in trade conversations throughout the summer, and for good reason. Coming off a career-best 35-goal, 67-point season and having played a full 82-game slate for the third consecutive year, the 34-year-old has proven he's still a valuable asset. His durability and offensive consistency make him a prime target for contending teams hungry for experience and depth.

Toronto Maple Leafs fans have even been hopeful about a potential reunion. While that door may be closing, Kadri's value remains undeniable. Kypreos emphasized, 'His trade value has likely never been higher in his career,' and that kind of endorsement could light a fire under Flames GM Craig Conroy.
Although the Flames have been reluctant to move Kadri—who holds a full no-movement clause—the context has shifted. With speculation also circling defenseman Rasmus Andersson, it's becoming clear the organization is open to change.

And in a league where timing is everything, this summer could be the ideal window for a major shake-up.
Kadri holds the cards, but the clock is ticking
What complicates the situation is Kadri's apparent happiness in Calgary. He's vocalized comfort with the organization, and unless approached with a compelling opportunity, he may prefer to stay put. That said, no-movement clauses don't make trades impossible—they simply require mutual agreement.
If a legitimate Stanley Cup contender knocks on Calgary's door with a strong offer, and Kadri sees a chance at another deep playoff run, things could shift quickly.
While he may ultimately remain with the Flames, the possibility of a late-summer blockbuster—or even a trade deadline surprise—shouldn't be ruled out.
