Colorado Avalanche Acquires Nazem Kadri, Boosts Playoff Push

0:00From Calgary Flames coverage, this is your March 6th update. The NHL trade deadline seemed to wrap up, but the Calgary Flames pulled off a surprise by sending Center Nozum Codry back to the Colorado Avalanche. Codry, who helped Colorado win the Stanley Cup a few years ago, brings playoff grit and scoring punch to their lineup. In the swap, Colorado picked up Codry plus a 2027 4th round draft pick. Calgary got forward Victor Olofsen, forward Maximilian Kern, a 2027 2nd round pick, and a 2028 1st round pick. This move stacks Colorado even deeper at Center, pairing Codry with their stars for a serious postseason threat. Fans there are thrilled, seeing him as the perfect third line option to shut down opponents and chip in goals. For the Flames, dealing the 35-year-old Codry and his $7 million average annual value deal through 2029, fits there. Rebuild. They clear cap space and landed valuable assets without rushing.
