Nazem Kadri's name has resurfaced as a legitimate trade candidate after the revelation last week that he would be 'open' to a move from the Calgary Flames. One of the primary candidates earlier in the season was the Montreal Canadiens, who were in desperate need of a second-line center. After the month of January, however, the Habs' interest in Kadri has 'cooled', per insider Marco D'Amico . Sources confirm the Canadiens checked in on Kadri early in the season, trying to gaug...
