Flames Trade Kadri to Avalanche, Acquire Olofsson, Prospect, Picks

The Calgary Flames have made a significant move, trading veteran center Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche. In return, theyve acquired winger Victor Olofsson, prospect Max Curran, a conditional first-round pick in 2028, and a conditional second-rounder in 2027. The Flames are also retaining 20% of Kadris salary, amounting to a cap hit of $1.4 million.

Kadri, who won the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 2022, has struggled this season with just 12 goals and 41 points. Olofsson, a 30-year-old forward, brings a solid scoring touch with 11 goals and 25 points this season. Hes set to become a free agent after the 2025-26 season.

Curran, a 19-year-old prospect from the Western Hockey League, has posted 14 goals and 41 points in 31 games. The trade is seen as a step towards the Flames rebuild, adding to their stockpile of draft picks and clearing cap space.
