Can you name every NHL franchise's all-time leader in points in five minutes?
I recall seeing Nazem Kadri play in Toronto as if it happened yesterday. The young player could electrify a room. He was lively, passionate, and perhaps more than a bit uncontrolled at times.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Dallas Stars are off to a hot start to the 2025-26 season. The only thing in their way is the start the Colorado Avalanche have gotten off to. The Stars trail the Avalanche by four points for the best record in all of hockey.

The Montreal Canadiens are in dire need of some additional forward depth. Amidst a slump of six losses in their last seven games, the Habs are dealing with significant injuries, particularly down the middle with Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook out long term.
The Montreal Canadiens have been searching for a legitimate second-line center for months, and a surprising name is suddenly back on their radar: Nazem Kadri.

Nazem Kadri has garnered plenty of attention as of late. The 35-year-old played in his 1,000th career NHL game on Wednesday night’s 5-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, becoming the 407th player to reach that distinguished milestone.
Despite rumors that he could be moved this season and amid the Calgary Flames’ struggling season, Nazem Kadri is reportedly not on the trade block. As is being reported by TSN’s Darren Dreger, according to team ownership, the Flames aren’t contemplating a move.
