But why

 

[KrisLetAngry]

He was a worse Connor Sheary

[Frozen Failure]

Why didn't they just include him in the trade???

Maybe Nill asked him if he wanted to go to Calgary and he said "not unless I have no choice" ...

 

[User1996]

Can’t be worse than Oesterle. See you later Noah

 

[Kcb12345]

He's nothing more than a 7th/8th dman, but damn the Texas Stars really needed him.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Hanley is cheap and is fine as a 6/7 Dman

I swear this said Phillips when I first replied

Makes sense. CGY knows they will need someone to play the games after they sell all their players at the deadline.

We already need someone, our most NHL ready defense prospect is injured and we used Oesterle last night... the only role that dude should have on a pro hockey team is keeping the seat in the press box warm

As a redwings fan i can honestly say this guy is the biggest douche to ever wear the winged wheel

Just looking at Friedman's tweets I think he missed them up originally and corrected himself. Probably had thread adjusted

Nothing wrong with the pickup

Dallas must've wanted the 50k or whatever this costs the Flames for the waiver pickup lol

Whew, I thought I was losing my mind

 

[catters078]

Occasionally Hanley gets wheeled by top end forwards and loses balance to give up chances every now and then. (Eg he was the D man on the Owen Tippett backhand goal this year)

Apart from that, he's a pretty safe bottom pairing D man to play 30 or 40 a year without many mistakes.

I think it's more about how poorly Gilbert and Oesterle have played the last 2 games and when we trade Hanifin both would be playing

For those interested, this cost Calgary $11,250, paid to Dallas and not counted against the cap.



Season total: $935,625
27 claims

I mean he can't be worse than Oesterle right?

Surprised Murray didn't nix the deal. That 11,250 could have been a new espresso machine in his Swiss chalet.

Swiss Chalet? Dammit, now I'm all hungry.
