"There's been plenty of surprises so far this season, including the Montreal Canadiens leading the Atlantic Division after 10 games. The New Jersey Devils have won eight games in a row and sit atop the Metropolitan Division, meanwhile out west, the Utah Mammoth have turned the corner, and look like a team on a mission as they're off to an 8-2-0 start."
"Off the ice, trade talks have picked up in a major way as some teams are decimated with injuries and are looking externally to try and fill some holes on their rosters. There are also a few teams who have players who could use a change of scenery, so there's been no shortage of trade discussions throughout the early stages of the new season."
"Hockey insider Elliotte Friedman mentioned over the weekend that while Kadri is certainly a trade candidate out of Calgary, his 1000th NHL game is only a couple of weeks away, and don't expect to see the Flames moving the veteran centre before then. It's a move that makes complete sense and is certainly the level of respect that a player like Kadri deserves."
The 2025-26 NHL season is nearly a month old and has produced several unexpected storylines. The Montreal Canadiens lead the Atlantic Division after 10 games, the New Jersey Devils have an eight-game win streak atop the Metropolitan, and the Utah Mammoth sit at 8-2-0. Trade discussions have intensified as injury-hit teams seek roster reinforcements and some players could benefit from new environments. The Calgary Flames are struggling at 2-7-1 and having scoring issues. Nazem Kadri leads Calgary with seven points in 10 games and is a trade candidate, but his 13-team no-trade list and upcoming 1000th game complicate a move.
