Episode notes
Flames Hold High-Leverage Assets
- The Flames are comfortable waiting because Blake Coleman and Nazem Kadri are high-value, non-desperate assets.
- Frank Seravalli says Calgary can demand the right return rather than rush a suboptimal deal.
Kadri Likely Moves Only For Right Fit
- Multiple teams show interest in Nazem Kadri but fit and return matter most to Calgary.
- Seravalli rates Kadri's chance of moving as better than 50-50 yet says no hot offers have surfaced.
Two-Phase Deadline Market
- Expect a flurry before the Olympic freeze as some teams push to complete business early.
- Other clubs will wait until after the Olympics to see how rosters and needs evolve, creating a two-phase market.
