Friedman: Noah Hanifin and Flames making ''progress'' on contract extension

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Friedman just reported this on the headlines segment of HNIC. I believe he also added there is optimism the contract will get done.

So much for Hanifin desperately wanting to head to the US.

Boooo. Good for the flames though. He’s a stud

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for Calgary

 

[Mobiandi]

I still expect him to get moved

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Any idea of terms floated by insiders?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Progress:

GM: You like stuff?
Player: Yup.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

He’s a beast. He’s the guy you sign long term because he’ll be a top pair guy for the rest of that contract.
Lindholm and the other UFAs are more risky IMO, as good as Lindholm has been to start.

The Hanifin-Andersson pair is low-key the most important part of the Flames.

 

[OG Eberle]

Time heals everything.

So does removing every last Sutter from the Flames organization apparently.

Sounds like my dating life

*Checks notes*
No Brett Sutter is still captain of the Wranglers

I'm sure his extension will have a "No Sutter in the NHL" clause or something

 

[Boomstick]

I'm fine with this news. Hopefully it gets done, and is affordable.

 

[Some Other Flame]

So Conroy's plan is just to re-sign everyone then. I'm sure that's just going to go great....

Seriously hope this is just posturing

Next four games could be very interesting for the negotiations

 

[Zirakzigil]

Underrated player. People forget hes 26. One of the youngest defensemen to 600 NHL games. Hope this is true.

 

[Play]

He’s my favourite

 

[HighLifeManIsHigh]

I hate this, Hanifin always makes the wrong play with the puck. Guy has rocks for brains

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So much for nobody wanting to play in Canada, turns out it was only Matt Tkachuk.

Does not!

 

[HighLifeManIsHigh]

Does not!

Hanifin has the puck, the Flames are making a line change, he is not under any sort of pressure, Hanifin throws the puck towards his bench mid line change. This is a regular play for shit for brains. That’s one example that happens most nights. But I’m sure you have a better read on the player because you look at box scores and see that he plays 20+ minutes a night. Guys a moron

 

[biturbo19]

I'd still be really surprised if he ends up staying. Really seemed like he was head back to the US Northeast to me. But who knows.

I hope you’re right

Who do you think he is? Pietrangelo? from an outside perspective it seems like he’s the least of the Flames problems.

But if you aren’t exaggerating then fine.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Please no

If it’s under 6M…ok. If not, I’d rather trade him

 

[Bounces R Way]

plz trade for stuff
Things. Several things. More than 1 good thing but at least 1 very good thing.


I felt better about that when Kylington was still playing hockey. I still have hopes he will play more hockey at some point.
I got nothing against Noah. Quality top 3 defenseman. Very quality even. But trading him and Lindholm are the last chance this franchise has to reload with some young A assets before it is completely hopeless.
