The NHL rumor mill is churning as the Olympic break and trade deadline approach, with the Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Montreal Canadiens at the center of the buzz. Here's a breakdown of the latest reports surrounding these Canadian teams:

Calgary Flames

The Flames appear to be open to moving several players, with Rasmus Andersson, Nazem Kadri, and Blake Coleman drawing significant interest from other teams.

• Rasmus Andersson: Talk surrounding Andersson has intensified recently, with both the player and the team reportedly wanting a resolution before the Olympic break. The Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vegas Golden Knights, and Dallas Stars have all been linked to the 29-year-old defenseman. However, the Maple Leafs may be unwilling to meet Calgary's asking price, especially if it includes top prospects like Easton Cowan.

• Nazem Kadri: While Kadri is reportedly happy in Calgary, he would welcome a trade to a contender. Several teams are interested in acquiring the veteran center, but his $7 million cap hit and 13-team no-trade clause could complicate any potential deal.

• Blake Coleman: The Montreal Canadiens are reportedly very interested in Coleman due to his versatility, physicality, and leadership. However, Coleman was recently placed on injured reserve after sustaining an injury against the Boston Bruins. TSN's Pierre LeBrun noted that Coleman also has a partial no-move clause, giving him some control over his destination. Coleman's current injury may impact the Flames' timeline for a potential trade.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs are looking to bolster their blue line after Chris Tanev was all but confirmed to miss the rest of the season.

• Dougie Hamilton: The Leafs are reportedly among the most aggressive teams pursuing Dougie Hamilton, who the New Jersey Devils have scratched as they actively pursue a trade. Hamilton would consider waiving his no-trade clause to join the Leafs and has a pre-existing relationship with Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving from their time together in Calgary. However, the San Jose Sharks and Utah Mammoth may have an advantage in terms of assets and cap flexibility.

• Brayden Schenn: The Leafs have been linked to Schenn for several years, and that chatter is expected to pick up again as the trade deadline approaches. However, the Blues were seeking a massive return for Schenn last year, and it's fair to wonder whether Treliving will even bother revisiting the possibility this time around. The Maple Leafs were interested in uniting Brayden Schenn with his brother Luke.

Montreal Canadiens

The Canadiens have exceeded expectations this season and are looking to add experienced, battle-tested forwards to their roster.

• Blake Coleman: As mentioned above, Coleman is reportedly high on the Canadiens' list of potential trade targets. General manager Kent Hughes is said to be drawn to Coleman's versatility, physicality, and leadership. However, the Canadiens are in no rush to make a move and will likely wait until after the Olympics to make another splash.

• Other potential targets: Besides Coleman, the Canadiens are also reportedly interested in Kiefer Sherwood and Alex Tuch. The team is looking to add a rare combination of physicality and goal-scoring to their middle six. Nick Schmaltz of the Utah Mammoth is another potential target for the Canadiens.

The NHL trade market is heating up, and these three Canadian teams could be key players in the coming weeks. Whether they are buyers or sellers, the Flames, Maple Leafs, and Canadiens are sure to be involved in several interesting deals before the trade deadline.
