The Colorado Avalanche acquired forward Nazem Kadri and a 2027 fourth-round pick from the Calgary Flames on March 6, 2026, ahead of the NHL trade deadline. In exchange, the Flames received forward Victor Olofsson, the rights to unsigned prospect Max Curran, a conditional 2028 first-round pick, and a conditional 2027 second-round pick, while retaining 20 percent of Kadri's salary. Kadri returns to the team where he won the Stanley Cup in 2022.
The NHL trade deadline on March 6, 2026, saw several deals, including two involving Swedish players. Timothy Liljegren moved from the San Jose Sharks to the Washington Capitals, while Victor Olofsson was part of a larger trade sending him from the Colorado Avalanche to the Calgary Flames. Nazem Kadri returned to the Avalanche in that blockbuster exchange.

NHL insider Darren Dreger has suggested that the Detroit Red Wings are targeting Calgary Flames players Nazem Kadri and MacKenzie Weegar in a possible blockbuster trade ahead of the Olympic break. The Red Wings, positioned second in the Atlantic Division, seek non-rental players with contract term to bolster their roster. This speculation comes as the trade deadline approaches, with a freeze set to begin soon.
