I like this signing, good job Tre. Buys some UFA years, low cap hit for his potential.

 

[Mobiandi]

Wish it was 7 but good AAV. If all goes right with our core, we'll have our last hurrah in 6 years anyway

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Great deal. Well done Flames, and the museum clause.

Flames have never signed a contract at more than 6 years.

Monahan's was 7 years.

 

[Lunatik]

Monahan's was 7 years.

I stand corrected.

Says what they think of Monahan IMO.

 

[Corpus X]

That's freakin' fantastic! Tre-dawg (A pocket Dawg too) knows how to get contracts done.

 

[Lunatik]

I wanted a 3 year deal, but at this AAV, I can handle the 6 year deal. This is very team friendly.

 

[JurassicTunga]

A good deal for sure. Can't wait for the season to start!

 

[Calculon]

Solid.

Would have liked seven years too but under 5M AAV is great value.

 

[MDCSL]

Good deal for the player and for the flames

 

[Bounces R Way]

Don't hate this one, 6 years is pretty good length for an AAV under 5. Happy it got done. Kid has an absolute boatload of potential so it could be looking very very good in short order.

Edit: NVM

 

[Anglesmith]

Makes me happy. So closes the last loose end before our championship season gets going.

Haha. Looks like Hanifin was interrupted at the movies once again:

"The moment Noah Hanifin heard the news from agent Pat Brisson on June 23 that he'd been dealt to the Flames, he was at home in Boston, at a local Cineplex, about five minutes into a screening of Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom.
Well, there's obviously something about the magic of the movies …

"You're not going to believe this," laughed the freshly-signed Hanifin, long distance late Thursday. "I'm in Tampa Bay right now with Auston Matthews and some guys - Charlie McEvoy, Kyle Palmieri - at a camp. We skated this morning and - I'm not making this up - I was a movie theatre this afternoon when I talked to Pat, my agent, about the deal being done. I swear to God.

"Yes, again.

"We were watching Mile 22, with Mark Wahlberg. I told my dad later: 'How wild is that? Isn't that the weirdest thing?'

"I have good luck with movie theatres, I guess."

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Must be nice to be Noah, he has cool friends.

 

[InfinityIggy]

That is gonna be a good f***ing contract. I love it.

I love that he's amused by always getting the calls while in the movies

Some people are friends with Matthews and MacAvoy, others get friends like myself and II... we know who the real winner is.

Canes fans throwing shade at this deal already; can't wait for hanifin to prove them wrong.

 

[FlamerForLife]

 

[super6646]

So he can still be traded to 24 other teams then. Would imagine if this were chia it would be a full ntc and this contract would probably be a million extra dollars per year.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Great deal!

Long term RFA deals are steals

It’s great when a father and son are best friends. I agree, our group are the real MVP’s.

No they aren't. They are just stating the truth. He hasn't earned it yet and he was more of a 4/5 last year than outright 2nd pairing.
