The Flames have signed Nazem Kadri to a seven-year contract worth $49.0 million ($7.0M AAV).

In order to make room for Kadri, the Flames are reportedly trading Sean Monahan to the Montreal Canadiens. Kadri is coming off of a career-best 87 points (28G / 59A) in 71 games with the Avalanche. He added 15 points (7G / 8A) in 16 playoff games, winning the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche.

Kadri (undisclosed) will miss at least the rest of the Western Conference Final.

Kadri was hit by Evander Kane on his first shift of Game 3 and did not return to the game. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Kadri will miss the rest of the series, "if not longer." Kane was suspended for one game for the hit.

Kadri (upper-body) is expected to be ready for the start of the playoffs.

Kadri suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Sharks on March 31st and despite finishing that game, is going to sideline him for an extended period of time. The Avalanche are expecting him back for the playoffs, whether that's game 1 or not remains to be seen.

Kadri was placed in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to be back Tuesday.

Kadri was placed in COVID-19 protocol on December 18th but the team did not announce it until Sunday. The Avalanche provided expected return dates for all of the players still in protocol and put Kadri on track to be back ahead of Wednesday's game vs. Dallas.

Kadri is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Kadri will miss Friday's game vs. the Red Wings due to a lower-body injury that he suffered on Wednesday. Luckily for the Avalanche, they will get JT Compher back on Friday to replace Kadri in the top-6. Andre Burakovsky will take Kadri's spot on the top power-play unit.

Kadri (lower-body) will miss 4-to-6 weeks.

The Avalanche originally listed Kadri as week-to-week but head coach Jared Bednar gave a more detailed timetable on Wednesday. Their second-line centre will miss at least one month, which means J.T. Compher will get an extended look in the top-6 and could put Colorado in the market for a centre at the trade deadline.

Kadri is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Kadri was forced to leave Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. The timing could not be worse for Kadri, who has posted nine points (4G / 5A) in his last eight games, marking his hottest stretch of the season. Players like J.T. Compher and Tyson Jost will likely be force-fed top-6 minutes in Kadri’s absence.

Kadri (lower-body) will return to the Colorado lineup on Wednesday.

Kadri has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play vs. the Flyers on Wednesday. Kadri, who has 20 points (10G / 10A) in 27 games this season, will skate with Joonas Donskoi and Andre Burakovsky at even strength and is expected to be back on the top power-play unit.
