Friedman: “Stealth team for Noah Hanifin: Vancouver”

[82Ninety42011]

I'd rather take Dobson at 7th then give up the pick and Tanev for Hanafin. Not sure why he's on market but if it's to bolster right side then how about Hanafin for Tanev, 2018 2nd and Markstrom?

He’s not on the market. Any offer for him would have to be a strong one.

Understood and Canucks in no position to over pay as we have too many needs to be looking at that scenario.

 

[Eternalize]

That would be a tough pill to swallow considering Demko is our starter in the next year or so. Would consider DiPietro though.

Demko should pretty much be in the untouchable department with Horvat, Boeser and Pettersson IMO. Markstrom and Nilsson aren't starters in this league. Canucks would be crazy to part with him, especially in a package deal with the 7th overall pick. Trading him would just create a new big hole in the organization. Would rather pick any of the defensemen at 7.

 

[DaveG]

#7 + Demko would have to be the basis for a move like this.

 

[TeddyBare]

Vancouver is guaranteed 1 of the big 4 d-man in this draft with their position.

Unless some crazy scenario where zadina falls, and boqvist, bouchard, dobson, and hughes are taken 3-6

Those years of entry level would be pretty valuable while Hannifin needs a new deal

 

[Starat327]

It was just meant as he was a 5th overall pick who hasnt disappointed and has 3 years of development under his belt. I wouldnt move a player that like that for the 5th again and hope the new player develops equally well. So I would assume pick wise it would have to be 7th + something semi decent seeing as they would have no reason to deal him for the 5th pick alone and Vancouver dont even have that one

For sure. I wouldn't expect the Canes to move him for another chance at him. That wouldn't make sense at all. Just seems odd that youd have to spell out that a player picked a few years back is more developed than anyone in this draft. But then again, it is HF and one should never assume.

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Canes would want 7 and Demko for Hanifin + 2nd Rounder. They get their future stud goalie and would probably take the stud Finn center Kotkaniemi to play with their 2 Finnish studs (Aho, Teuvo). Vancouver would never ina million years do that deal. I dont think theres a deal to be made between these teams and that Elliotte is throwing shit against the wall and hopes it sticks.

 

[Leviathan]

Has Friedman predicted anything lately? Any one of us could do what he does and we might even be better at it.

Genuine question, do you believe every rumour comes to fruition? And if it doesn't, do you assume it was baseless? I could list hundreds and hundreds of times Friedman broke stories. It's not his fault you can't distinguish between a rumour and an actual breaking trade. When he reports a rumour, he IS NOT SAYING IT WILL HAPPEN.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

#7 + Demko would have to be the basis for a move like this.

Not worth it for Van. I'd rather draft a dman at 7 and stay the course.

 

[Flair Hay]

Hanifin doesn't really seem like a good value for any team to trade for...

 

[dayner]

I dont think that Juolevi is what the canes would want. The Canes would still have Jake Bean and Hadyn Fleury and behind Slavin that is a good left side going forward. Also Tanev doesn't make sense since Pesce is a similar type player.

Canucks can't be willing to trade Demko and the Canes, with the new owner, want to compete now and not want to wait for #7OA to develop.

Bad trade partners

 

[StateOfHockey101]

Why is he available? Isn't he a top notch prospect?
If this is true I really hope the wild jump on this. They could use a young star on the blue line. Especially with suter possibly being done.

 

[Oneiro]

Does Vancouver ever do anything stealthily?

 

[Brock Anton]

Hanifin doesn't really seem like a good value for any team to trade for...

Explain.

Because I'm pretty sure many teams would be willing to give up pretty good value for a 21-year old defenseman who plays top 4 minutes and has 200+ games of NHL experience.

 

[Halla]

Carolina would be looking to take a guy like Wahlstrom/Veleno in this scenario most likely.

would the nucks do pick 7 and 37 for hanifin?

 

[PetterssonSimp]

That's because those 2 are premiere top pairing shut down dman that are mobile and big. Disagree? Where does hanafan stack up in pairings in Vancouver?

So you admit he’s not a top pairing defenceman then? That’s all I was asking you to do pal. Btw he’d play behind Alex Edler as the #2 LHD on Vancouver.

 

[PavelBure10]

Noah Hanafin is a player who should definitely intrigue the Canucks. His size and all-round skill set would help the Canucks defense immensely.
If Hanafin's name is rumoured on the block, then Benning would be stupid not to investigate. You can bet Horvat, Boeser, Petterson, and even Demko would be considered untouchable. They are the building blocks of the new foundation. The 7th overall, Gaudette, Tanev, Baertschi, or any other draft picks, prospects or vets in the organization, will be on the table.

I personally am very interested in Hanafin on the Canucks depending on the cost, but would be very happy with drafting Dobson, Whalstrom, or whoever aswell.

 

[clunk]

Juolevi/Gaudette/Tanev/Dahlen + Virtanen/Lind/Gadjovich + Dipietro/Markstrom/Nilsson + veteran need

for

Hanifin + Darling.

Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser, 7th, Demko wouldn't be on the table coming from the Canucks imo.

I.e, I don't think Carolina would do it without one of those pieces included.

 

[Beziro]

Hanifin trade is probably contingent on Tanev deal being completed....might be other parts included but could see something like this

Canucks - Noah Hanifin
Hurricanes - 7th Overall

Canucks - 10th 11th or 12th Overall
Oilers or Islanders - Chris Tanev

Or simply

Canucks - Noah Hanifin
Hurricanes - 10th 11th or 12th Overall
Oilers or Islanders - Chris Tanev

 

[vorbis]

yeah I don't see the upside of CAR trading Hanifin for 7OA without something else coming back with it. it's just a big, fat punt on a #5 overall pick that hasn't even come close to flopping. why do that when you can bridge him at a perfectly acceptable top-4 salary and let him blossom under a new coach?

 

[notsocommonsense]

Hanifin is a stud. Young potential #1 D in the making.

Canes should ask for Pettersson+ or Horvat+

No reason they should ask for anything less if a less proven Jones can return a #1 C like Johansen.

Hanifin is not a #1 D in the making and it’s laughable you think van adds to Horvat or Pettersson

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Unless the draft goes something likeL

Dahlin
Svech
Zadina
Hughes
Wahlstrom
Dobson

I'd keep 7th OA.


Do a three way deal with Edmonton.

Carolina gets: 10th Overall pick+Sven Baertschi+Ben Hutton+40th Overall(Edm)
Edmonton gets: Chris Tanev+Victor Rask
Vancouver gets: Noah Hanifin

Fair?

 

[krutovsdonut]

only makes sense for a starter. that is their need.

the seventh is a not in the discussion. a later pick or a dman is more likely.

would logically have to be demko. for it to happen that would have to mean canucks are very high on depietro.

overall it seems unlikely. maybe they want sutter back.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

32 points at 21.

you can't use his age as a reason that he's a top pairing defenseman. that isn't related to his play. 32 points also isn't that impressive
