Interesting Fan Proposal Has Canadiens Acquiring Nazem Kadri in 4-Piece Trade

We know that Kent Hughes is looking to improve his team at this position, and now a trade proposal has just been suggested on social media involving the Canadiend and the Calgary Flames.

To Montreal:
- Nazem Kadri

To Calgary:
- Mike Matheson
- Filip Mesar
- 2026 seventh-round pick

Nazem Kadri's name was linked to the Canadiens a few weeks ago, and we know the Flames organization would like to move on from his contract, which is starting to become a bit heavy.

The 34-year-old veteran will earn $7 million for the next four seasons, but he still scored 35 goals in 2024-2025, which gives him good trade value.

However, it will take much more than Mike Matheson and Filip Mesar to convince Flames general manager Craig Conroy to trade his veteran center.

Matheson will be entering the final year of his contract in 2025-2026, and as for Mesar, it seems he no longer figures into the organization's plans.

It should be noted here that this is a suggestion from an observer and not a founded rumor.

That said, Kadri could be perfect to hold the fort while waiting for young Michael Hage's arrival, especially since Kadri is still more than capable of producing 55 to 65 points per season, which would simply be enough to help a young player like Ivan Demidov perform up to his potential.
