Speculation: Noah Hanifin on the trade block

[Ledge And Dairy]

Hanifin for Dylan Strome

Strome for Hanafin.. something around that.

No chance, Flames dont want another slow top 6 center.

I still don't get what the flames are looking for..scoring forward or scoring defenceman or what?

2RD or 2RW or cap space to go trophy fishing.

Strome is a horrible fit for Calgary, they don't need more slow top 6 centers. No chance Flames do that

How about Robert Thomas from the Blues, if Alex Pietrangelo leaves, if there a trade to be made.

 

[Sam Pollock]

Really hard to judge, I would guess it ends up around $6-7m x 6+ yrs??

Not sure if Calgary could really handle that and still be a playoff contender. Maybe they could,

Personally I’d definitely do something around Thomas for Hanifin, but don’t think Stl fans would be wild about that.

 

[CraigsList]

Too bad they didn't have a dman like Hamilton

It took Hamilton to also acquire Lindholm in the deal. Both teams, imo, really benefited from that trade.

 

[Dack]

Wrong thread. He may have been part of the Flames Hall package which would mean he's been avaliable for a while.

 

[GaryPoppins]

I feel like in such a situation, I'd want to see if I could entice you to unlock either Ehlers or Laine by putting Monahan on the table.

now we’d be talking... except bringing in a 2C is to play with those two. Sigh...

 

[Anthony5967]

He's Brady Skjei with a bit more potential.

 

[AcerComputer]

Van : Hanifin
Mtl : Boeser
Cgy : Domi

Vancouver get screwed. Domi for Hanifin is somewhat reasonable.

This is 100 percent accurate. Both have above average physical gifts and wheels. Both are capable of wowing you in a 10-15 game stretch to think they could be a legitimate top pair D-man at times but ultimately they revert back to what they are which is a middle pair 30-40pt D that have all the talent and gifts but just cannot break thru the glass ceiling of consistency to take that next step. Ultimately they are what they are and will leave you wanting more. Strange so many NYR fans are eager for hanifin but at the same time were ecstatic to trade Skjei and his contract for a 1st. They are not bad players but they are what they are at this point IMO

They might now if AP walks.

Hanifin and Skjei have similar deficiencies in that both struggle with defensive IQ. Having watched both as a Canes fan, I will say that Skjei brings a physical element that Hanifin completely lacked. Hanifin also had a more lackadaisical (or more generously effortless) approach to the game while Skjei brings more motor (which is a double edged sword for him).

Justin Faulk for nothing and maybe a nice add from Blues for helping them clear cap?

In a separate deal. Move Hanifin for a fwd.

Does anyone want Faulk at his current contract for free?

I think so. I think he'll do good in a bigger role on a new team.

What would you consider the nice add from St.Louis?

Random... does a young Justin Faulk look like Sasha Baron Cohen?

The Faulk idea is very interesting depending on how "nice" the add is and if Brodie/Hamonic aren't staying (likely).

I think Hanifin finds his way to Boston. Don't think I'm good at coming up with the how. But I'd believe he's a major target, of which Sweeney has covetted for a while.

Outside of Carlo and Studnicka Boston doesn't have anything the Flames want. (obviously ignoring the Perfection Line)

Then maybe it's based of one of those players mentioned. Sweeney has just had interest in Hanifin, and I can see him making a strong attempt to make it happen this time around. Maybe someone outbids or it doesn't work out. But just throwing my guess out there.

 

[Boxscore]

Hanifin for OEL just needs to happen.

DeBrusk is intriguing, but doesn’t move the needle enough by himself.

I’d also be interested in Faulk in a separate deal, but the cap makes it tricky.
