Nazeem Kadri could end up joining Rasmus Andersen’s trade council
The fourth period: Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersen will be subject to trade speculation all season long as he is expected to move at some point. Speculation surrounding center Nazeem Kadri continues to grow as the Calgary Flames get off to a slow start.
The 35-year-old Kadri has three years left on his contract after this season, with a cap hit of $7 million. He has a no-move clause and will be on the 13-team no-trade list next season. Nothing is imminent.
The Flames are not interested in rebuilding but may look to regroup.

Pending UFA Anderson could look to the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights. The Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings had been interested in him in the past, but he was unwilling to pursue it.
It seems a little early to move Kadri, but if the Flames completely withdraw from the game before the deadline, they may make a call to see if Kadri is interested.
Teams calling New York Rangers regarding Brennan Osman’s status
Bleacher Report: Frank Seravalli on New York Rangers and Brennan Othmann trade rumors.

“But just wanted to pass on some thoughts on the Rangers and Osman situation. They’ve had some calls about Osman because teams are curious about his status and whether he’s a good fit for the Rangers going forward. But he’s not the focus, not someone they’re really considering or trying to move.

Remember, they invested a first-round pick in Osman. They’re not going to give him away for nothing, so they’re looking for some pretty significant returns. At this point, they’re hoping he can get off to a fast start in Hartford. Had a great start to the season and is someone they can develop and make him part of the lineup in the second half of the year.
But they’re certainly interested or willing to accept his call, as are the other wingers in their system who haven’t quite broken through yet. If the right deal is struck, they won’t be afraid to move him. It’s just that they didn’t actively promote it. What’s more, teams were calling with interest, thinking they might be able to get him on the cheap. I think it’s important to dispel that notion. “
