Nazem Kadri(Center)(C)|Calgary Flames CAL

Signing

Nazem Kadri and the Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with $5.8 million.

Kadri signs the deal a day before training camp is set to open up. The 22-year-old forward scored 18 goals and added 26 assists (44 points) in 48 games last season. This was Kadri's first full NHL season so a 0.92 points-per-game is likely the reason these contract negotiations lasted so long. He enters the season as the Maple Leafs number 2 center, but will likely be the most valuable fantasy center on this roster.

Mikael Backlund(Center)(C)|Calgary Flames CAL

Injury

Sounds like Mikael Backlund will miss tonight's game in Columbus with Roman Cervenka coming back in. #Flames

Backlund has been dealing with a foot injury, no word if that is what is keeping him out of the lineup. Backlund has seven points in 14 games this season, he has had a hard time staying healthy.

Injury

Mikael Backlund with cracked bone..not playing for. #Flames vs #Stars Cervenka looks to be in.

Backlund won't miss a lot of time, but it appears as if he will be out tonight. Make sure to get him out of your lineup. He has seven points in 12 games this season.

#Flames C Mikael Backlund (foot) -- "bone bruise associated with a crack" -- could play tomorrow. Day to day.

Injury

Call up / Send down

The #Habs have called up D Jared Tinordi from Hamilton

Tinordi is a big, strong defenceman. At 6'6" he over-powers his opponents in the defensive zone. He is a rock on the blueline, but he is not a threat to score, which makes him irrelevant in fantasy.

Tyson Barrie(Defenseman)(D)|Calgary Flames CAL

Line Change

Tyson Barrie will be scratched tonight with the return of Erik Johnson.

The rookie has played well this season so it is surprising to see him get scratched. Barrie has one goal and five assists in 15 games this season. He was also averaging 21:06 minutes a night.

Mikael Backlund(Center)(C)|Calgary Flames CAL

Injury

#Flames centre Mikael Backlund, who has been placed on injured reserve with an MCL sprain. He's out 4 to 6 weeks.

Backlund had 3 G and 1 A to go with a -1 in 8 games this season. He will likely miss the rest of the fantasy year so if you have him he is not worth keeping. Ben Street has been recalled from the AHL to replace Backlund.

Nazem Kadri(Center)(C)|Calgary Flames CAL

Line Change

Nazem Kadri looks like he's going to get his shot.

The Maple Leafs trade Lombardi yesterday and are going to Waive Connolly today. This leaves the door open for Kadri to make the team and step in and make a difference. Kadri is a talented player so monitor him as the season moves along, if he can score... He's worth a fantasy look.
