Trade speculation has resurfaced regarding Nazem Kadri.
The 34-year-old Calgary Flames center surfaced a few times in the off-season rumor mill after management traded away several key players last season. A few pundits wondered if he would request a trade to a contender rather than stick with a rebuilding club.
Kadri told reporters to "pump the brakes" on the speculation during the opening day of training camp. He said he loved the club and the city, adding he and his teammates were focused on surprising people this season.
The conjecture soon died away, especially when the Flames got off to a strong start to this season.
