Nazem Kadri still remains unsigned and as the top free agent on the market, it appears Kadri could be holding up other deals. Late last week Calgary seemed like a favourite to land Kadri, but it appears a deal there has fallen apart.
Now it appears the Winnipeg Jets have taken steps to enter themselves in the Kadri conversation. With the Jets being connected to the Montreal Canadiens via trade, a Kadri signing does make sense. If the Jets were able to move Pierre-Luc Dubois to Montreal, they could look to replace him with Kadri.
