Free agent forward Nazem Kadri has had plenty of interest come his way during free agency. The 31-year-old helped the Colorado Avalanche win the Stanley Cup last season, and is looking for a big pay day. Now, one surprise Eastern Conference team appears to have entered the race to get him.
The New York Islanders had a disappointing 2021-22 season after appearing in the previous two Eastern Conference Finals, and according to The Athletic's Kevin Kurtz, they are in on arguably the top free agent remaining.
A league source reported to the Athletic via text that there were "rumblings" regarding the possibility of the New York Islanders attempting to sign Kadri.
The Islanders have had a fairly quiet offseason this far, but this could be the splash that Lou Lamiorello could make to bolster his forward core.
