David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period: Sources have said that Nazem Kadri has told the Calgary Flames that he’s open to being traded, but it’s not a formal trade request. He’s got three years left at $7 million, and some teams have asked the Flames if they’d retain salary. believes they would consider it.

Among the teams to show some interest include the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild.

Some sources think that the Flames move Blake Coleman next, with the Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning eyeing him.

Don’t get the sense that forward Yegor Sharangovich is drawing much activity, but some wonder if he’ll be on the move.
