Nazem Kadri hints at a return to the Toronto Maple Leafs via Social Media

Nazem Kadri headed into the NHL looking like a true force to be reckoned with. When the 2009 NHL Draft hit just over 15 years ago, he was taken 7th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

After a decade with the team and only one full season played, Toronto felt Kadri had more value in a trade deal. The Toronto Maple Leafs then traded him to the Colorado Avalanche for defenseman Tyson Barrie.

Yet, after a Stanley Cup win with the Avs, he had to move to another team. Kadri joined the Calgary Flames only three years after vetoing a trade that would have occurred in 2019.

According to David Pagotta of the Fourth Period, Calgary is officially looking to explore the trade market for this 33-year-old forward.

Though no official trade has been released regarding Nazem Kadri, the forward has left fans a clue as to his next home in the NHL. According to his bio on Instagram, the 33-year-old forward could finally be making his return to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

With a full no-move clause, finding a deal that would work for the veteran forward may have been difficult. Yet, with 29 goals and 46 assists in the 2023-24 regular season, he may bring some value to Calgary's table and certainly would have a place back with his original NHL home in Toronto.
