Well, it's been over a month that Nazem Kadri has been on the market, and we've been hearing for weeks that Kadri was going to be joining the New York Islanders, but it seems we've had a change in those rumours as Kadri is now a Calgary Flame!

According to Kevin Weekes, Kadri has joined the Calgary Flames:

While we do not know many details on the contract yet, it is rumoured that it will be around 7 years at a $7,000,000 AAV per season.

Kadri was going into free agency wanting to get a deal done around $9 million per season, but this is definitely a fairer value for him.
