{allcanada} MUM'S THE WORD FOR LEAFS' KADRI

You may have seen Nazem Kadri's interview with us Wednesday, where he discussed the latest on contract talks with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In general, Kadri has been quite open recently about sharing his thoughts on negotiations.

The Toronto Sun relays that asked on Thursday for an update on talks, Kadri sent out a club intermediary who politely said the young Leafs centre was taking a vow of silence on the topic "until the deal gets done."

Kadri did relay that "negotiations are continuing and the lines of communication are open".

A frustrated Kadri said last week that he and his agents were taking the Leafs cap squeeze into consideration, but that he believed the strides he made last year as the club's second-leading scorer warranted some kind of reward.

Assistant general manager Claude Loiselle offered this: "We're talking, we're going back and forth, but historically, we don't comment on specifics."
