Friedman: Noah Hanifin could be traded this offseason

[RodTheBawd]

Man, can we update the OP with Friedman's(?) earlier report that a move for Duchene to Carolina didn't happen at the TDL because of his lack of remaining term? Unless he signed a special extension we're unaware of, I doubt GMRF's position has changed, particularly if we're talking a cost controlled 20 yo asset like Hanifin.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

what about poolparty for noah? with tweaks of course

 

[Montecristo]

For a 30 year old making $7.25 million for another 4 years, Why would Ron Francis even entertain trading for Krejci.

30s the new 20?

 

[Oil Spill]

You actually think Eberle is worth Hanifin? Wow.

You actually think he's serious? Wow.

Who else is Edmonton going to add to get Hanifin? Because Eberle alone isn't even close.

What's wrong with people, I thought his sarcasm was pretty evident.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Pretty much my thinking as well, Francis probably wants Duchene and Sakic wants Hanifin win win for both GMs.

Not at a premium price, imo. The term on Duchene's contract is a significant issue.

See #9 for Friedman's take.

 

[belair]

Winnipeg should be in on this.

 

[Montecristo]

Think Pastrnak. The Canes wouldn't want Krejci

Do you think pastrnak for hanifin is a fair deal?

 

[irunthepeg]

Probably still not enough for Hanifin but I'd trade Connor/Roslovic + Enstrom for Hanifin.

 

[DaveG]

Impact *offensive* forward. I guess technically spooner fits that bill better but I figured krejci was a better player for Carolina. He scored 54 points this year. I don't know who else fits the bill from Boston as fair compensation for hanifin. Vatrano isn't a bad add in either

Pastrnak or Marchand, and there's absolutely no way the Bruins trade either of them.

But yeah, Krejci doesn't fit our needs long term.


The only real thing that's been talked about lately that even makes a bit of sense is a Hanifin for Reinhart swap.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

For the love of god Chevy, do it for Winnipeg.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

In a bubble, I'd offer Pastrnak.

But in real life, Bruins need Pastrnak just as much as they'd need Hanafin.

Too bad we didn't have a Seguin to trade still...

 

[Jumptheshark]

avs/canes deal makes sense

 

[Juxtaposer]

Why would the Canes do this? The kids played 2 whole seasons and has all the potential in the world.

Slavin and Pesce are just that good, never mind Faulk.

Hanifin was super with Faulk after Hainsey was traded, but it makes total sense that Carolina would consider trading him for an equivalent forward.

Don't want two nickels for a quarter. Krejci has a NMC so he's not going to Carolina anyhow, but even if he waived it, he's > 30 years old isn't want Carolina is looking for. Vatrano is nothing that pretty much every team has already more than one of, he's not much of an add.

And Spooner? Canes aren't trading Hanifin for a soft, 1 dimenstional 40 point player. Canes need guys that can put the puck in the net, and that's not Spooner.

It was the definition of "weak sauce".

It's going to pretty much be a one for one deal with maybe a pick/prospect to round it out.

Thinking it would take someone like Drouin from TB, Duchene/Landeskog from Colorado. Reinhart from Buffalo makes sense too.

Hannifin is from the 2015 draft. So, they won't be going after players drafted much earlier than Hannifin.
Even Duchene from 2009 is pushing it. Term on his deal is the tricky part as they can't extend him right now to ensure that he will be there long term.

 

[McPuritania]

You actually think he's serious? Wow.



What's wrong with people, I thought his sarcasm was pretty evident.

It was.

Goodbye Ebs.....lol.
Honestly will be interesting if anything comes of this.
Canes fans. What is his offensive upside in your opinions?

 

[Hobocop]

Is this just Friedman thinking out loud again and passing it off as news?

 

[CanuckGame39]

Do you think pastrnak for hanifin is a fair deal?

Not 1 for 1, I prefer Pastrnak but I think a deal could be made depending on the additions.

 

[Birko19]

Why would the Canes trade for Duchene? He's older by 6 years and makes $6 million, yet not exactly playing like a $6 million dollar man.

If they're gonna part with Hanifin for a forward, it's going to be another young player with a similar status, some mentioned Sam Rienhart, I could see something being worked out there.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

You actually think he's serious? Wow.



What's wrong with people, I thought his sarcasm was pretty evident.

Those guys have now made my day

In all honestly once again canes fan. Do you see Faulk offensive upside?
How do you project him offensively.

 

[mondo3]

I would think this would be a good match with Winnipeg as we do have an abundance of scoring forwards. I could see Wheeler, Perreault, Lowry, Armia, Dano, Copp, Petan being available. I think Ehlers would not be available, but hard to say for sure.
Edit: possibly Connor or Roslovic

 

[Chan790]

avs/canes deal makes sense

Has Nate MacKinnon suddenly become someone Sakic would move?

Because Duchene still isn't getting it done, just like Francis is suspected of turning down at the TDL because of the age and years of team control gap.

 

[Agalloch]

Reinhart for Hanifin

Although I'd rather we fire our coach and finally play reinhart at C where he would actually thrive.
Then I'd rather trade Kane + 2017 1st (6th overall) + whatever....but if I recall correctly don't they need top 6 centerman? Or is it just high impact forwards in general? If it's centerman then it has to involve reinhart

That's a fair deal, IMO.

 

[Birko19]

I would think this would be a good match with Winnipeg. I could see some combination of Wheeler, Perreault, Lowry, Armia, Dano, Copp, Petan being available. I think Ehlers would not be available, but hard to say for sure.

Unless Ehlers is going back the other way, the Canes probably won't listen.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Something around Hayes or Miller or Stepan? Is Hanifin a RD or LD?

Really don't want to trade Miller but damn.
