Are the Montreal Canadiens cooling off their interest in Nazem Kadri ahead of the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline? In this video we break down the latest insider info and what it means for Montreal’s playoff push and roster-building strategy.

According to league sources, the Canadiens did check in on Calgary Flames centre Nazem Kadri earlier in the season, and he does not have Montreal on his no-trade list — meaning a deal was possible. But as the season progressed and internal roster pieces like Oliver Kapanen, Michael Hage and the addition of Phillip Danault emerged, chatter around Kadri quieted significantly.

📊 In this video we cover:
• Why Montreal was linked to Kadri in the first place 🧐
• What changed and why the interest has cooled off 🔥
• What this means for the Canadiens’ centre depth & playoff hopes 🏒
• Teams still being mentioned as potential Kadri suitors 📈
