NHL trade deadline winners, losers: Avalanche go all in with Nazem Kadri deal
USA TODAY
The Colorado Avalanche have enviable depth at center after trading for Nazem Kadri and Nicolas Roy before the trade deadline.
Nazem Kadri won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022 and wasn't re-signed, starting the team's search for a No. 2 center.
They finally found one at the 2025 NHL trade deadline with Brock Nelson. But now they also have found a Kadri-style player.
Nazem Kadri.
The Avalanche and Calgary Flames worked out a deal to bring back Kadri, giving up only Victor Olofsson off their roster, plus draft picks and an unsigned draft pick. Colorado now has enviable center depth and can trot out Nathan MacKinnon, Nelson, Kadri and fellow 2026 trade deadline acquisition Nicolas Roy.
Here are the winners and losers of the 2026 NHL trade deadline:
