Naz is back, back again.

Nazem Kadri was a beloved player for the Calgary Flames, known for his impressive offensive skills and gritty playing style. However, after one season with the team, Kadri was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs prior to the trade deadline 2023 in a move that shocked many fans. 

Despite his success with the team, Kadri's trade was seen as a necessary move by the Flames, who were looking to make changes to their roster after being not seen as a contender to make the 2022/2023 playoffs. The trade saw Kadri and defenseman Rasmus Andersson head to Toronto in exchange for defenseman Jani Hakanpaa, forward Michael Rasmussen, Prospects Ty Voit and Topi Niemal and Toronto's Second Round pick in the 2023 draft.

For Kadri, the move to Toronto was a homecoming of sorts, as he had spent the first nine seasons of his NHL career with the Maple Leafs. Kadri had established himself as a fan favorite in Toronto, earning a reputation as a skilled and hard-working player who could score goals and play physical.

Kadri's return to Toronto was met with excitement from fans, who were thrilled to see him back in a Maple Leafs jersey. The team was hoping that Kadri could help them improve on their recent playoff performances, which had seen them fail to make it out of the first round in each of the past four seasons.

After the game, Kadri spoke about his time in Calgary, saying that he had nothing but positive things to say about the team and the city. He also thanked Flames fans for their support during his time with the team, and said that he would always have a special place in his heart for the organization.

In the end, Kadri's trade to the Maple Leafs was a reminder of the ever-changing nature of the NHL, and the importance of being able to adapt to new situations. While his time with the Flames may have come to an end, Kadri's legacy with the team will not be forgotten anytime soon. As for his future with the Maple Leafs, only time will tell what lies ahead for this talented player.
