The news of Kadri signing somewhere was first reported by The Athletic’s Shayna Goldman before later being followed up by Weekes and other insiders.

Nazem Kadri has finally signed a contract, as he’s set to join the Calgary Flames.

Kadri had 28 goals, 59 assists in 71 games in 2021-22. This past season, he won his first Stanley Cup, becoming the first known Muslim player to do so.

Kadri had 161 goals, 196 assists in 561 games for the Maple Leafs in his career, before being shipped to Colorado in exchange for Alexander Kerfoot and Tyson Barrie in the summer of 2019.

Weekes also added that Calgary is working on a “potential deal” to trade centre Sean Monahan.

The former Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche centre will sign with the Flames according to ESPN’s Kevin Weekes, ending a summer of speculation for one of the NHL’s top free agents.

“I love you guys,” Kadri told Sportsnet’s David Amber of his supporters in Canada following the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup win. “I love you guys, that’s all is to be said. I’ve had supporters in my corner from day one, never wavered. For everyone that thought I was a liability in the playoffs, you can kiss my ass.”
