The phrase “Kadri is an Islander,” as I wrote the other day, was playing on a loop in my head. Well, at least now that cycle can break.
The folks doing the real business had everyone duped. It seems as though reporters in the last week felt comfortable saying they had “sources” who believed Nazem Kadri was a member of the New York Islanders because of the length of time that had passed without Kadri’s signing being announced.
Well, Calgary Flames GM Brad Treliving said that he and Kadri had something in place for a week, and he just needed to move some cap space.
