Nazem Kadri Headed Back to the Avalanche on NHL Trade Deadline Day

Kadri returns to Colorado in a trade sending Olofsson, draft picks, and salary retention to Calgary as Avalanche strengthen lineup for playoff contention.

  • On March 6, 2026, the Colorado Avalanche announced they reacquired Nazem Kadri at the trade deadline, the club confirming the deal in a statement.
  • NHL general managers worked the phones until Friday's 3 p.m. trade deadline buzzer, with the new collective bargaining agreement helping produce 23 deals and tightening the seller's market.
  • The Flames will keep 20 per cent of Kadri's salary while sending a 2027 fourth-round pick, and Colorado sent Victor Olofsson, rights to Max Curran, and conditional 2028/2027 picks to Calgary.
  • With Kadri gone, the Calgary Flames are clearly prioritizing longer-term roster renewal, while the Colorado Avalanche bolster their playoff push by reacquiring Kadri, a 2022 Stanley Cup contributor.
  • Kadri has 41 points in 61 games this season and is 35 in the fourth season of a seven-year contract with an average annual value of US$7 million.
