What are the chances that the Red Wings could pick up one of the most disliked forwards in the NHL, especially if Nazem Kadri waives his NMC as indicated by analyst Nick Kypreos?
The Red Wings could still be looking for reinforcements, and there could soon be a player who has always skated with an edge available.
Nazem Kadri, who is currently with the Calgary Flames, is reportedly willing to waive his no-trade clause per a report from Nick Kypreos.
Given how thin the market is for centers and how well he played last season. Kadri's stock has never been higher if Flames general manager Craig Conroy chooses to pull the trigger.
As I see it, the teams that are under the most intense pressure to add a game-changing player include Edmonton, Toronto, Colorado and Los Angeles. The second tier that doesn't necessarily have the same urgency, but could use a trade jolt, include Washington, Montreal, Ottawa, New Jersey and Dallas.

Kadri scored a career-best 35 goals for the Flames this year, who missed the playoffs for the 3rd straight year.
The Flames have been in a state of perpetual rebuild after their blockbuster trade of Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers for Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar.
Kypreos also mentioned that the Red Wings are one of the teams looking to make a trade, and that Kadri could represent what they are looking for.
Kadri is a former Stanley Cup winner with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, and is also known for his physicality and willingness to stand up for his teammates.
He still has 4 years left on his contract with an AAV (average annual value) of $7 million.
