Speculations on a potential trade scenario between the Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames have been electrifying this weekend.
With the NHL off season coming to a end very soon, fans are still eagerly awaiting for the Winnipeg Jets to make a big splash before the debut of the regular season. With the Calgary Flames entering a rebuilding phase within their system, rumours of Nazem Kadri heading out of Cow-Town are in full swing.
Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press recently stated that Kadri is «just what the Jets need.» It's not hard to see why. The Jets are in «win-now» mode, with big-money extensions kicking in for Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck. Adding a seasoned veteran like Kadri would provide much-needed experience and grit to their second-line center position.

While Kadri's potential move to Winnipeg is exciting, there are challenges. He will turn 34 in October, and any trade for him carries some risk. His contract, which includes a $7 million AAV and a full no-movement clause for the next two seasons, adds another layer of complexity. However, rumors suggest Kadri would be open to waiving his clause to play for a playoff contender like the Jets.
Although there are some very clear challenges concerning Kadri's current age and contract, its hard to deny the level of grit and tenacity he would bring to the Jets lineup.
The Jets are currently in "win now mode" and the addition of Kadri would be crucial to get over their first round playoff woes.
