To date, many interesting players still do not have a contract in their pocket. It seems that one of them, Nazem Kadri, could be the one delaying the signings.
The latest rumors are that the Winnipeg Jets are now in the running for Kadri. It makes sense, as the Manitoba team is in the middle of rumors regarding one of their big forwards, Pierre-Luc Dubois. If Kevin Cheveldayoff manages to send the Quebecer to Montreal or elsewhere, he could look to replace him with Kadri.
