Nazem Kadri could be nearing his decision, per Avs correspondent
Things have been very quiet on the Nazem Kadri front, which I think has surprised a lot of people. Kadri was expected to have a number of suitors lined up and waiting with big-money, long-term deals and would have had his pick of the litter. So what's the hold up?
Well, Kadri could simply be weighing his options, or he could be hard at work behind the scenes with the Avs trying to negotiate a new deal to remain in Denver through what could end up being the rest of his pro hockey career. According to Avs correspondent Adrian Dater, it could be the latter.
I'm more optimistic Kadri comes back to the Avs now. Lots of moving parts though. But I like the odds better now. A couple of league sources are saying he wants to come back to the Avs now

Colorado has done a pretty good job of keeping most of the band together, so it stands to reason that they may be looking to come back with a lot of the same guys, hoping to make another run. Bringing Kadri back would be a huge move for new Avs GM Chris MacFarland, there's no question about that.
As for other potential suitors, with all of Calgary, New Jersey and Long Island having missed out on Johnny Gaudreau, those are 3 teams who could make some sense when it comes to players for Kadri, but it's really up to the London, ON native. If he wants to take a little less to return to the Avs, I don't think anyone would be too surprised.
