Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:21:14 GMT

A year ago Thursday, Nazem Kadri put Tampa on ice. Last week, a columnist in Calgary called Kadri a snowflake.Before you do anything, Bruce Brown, before you go anywhere, before you sign anything, we beseech you:Call Naz.Josh Kroenke’s got the number, somewhere. Probably.Ask Kadri if, knowing what he knows now, he’d have still taken the money last summer over another ride — or two, or three — with a dynasty in Colorado.Ask him if he misses Denver.Ask him if he misses Ball Arena. If he misses that locker room. All that speed. All those legends.Ask him if he misses the view from a Mile High.Parades rock. But once that hangover clears, it’s business time.
