Dominic bokk????Not necessarily looking to trade him, just wondering what his value currently is? He's an excellent #3 and can look like a #1 at nights, but also look like a #5 at nights. Still he's young and has a long term good cap hit contract. The reason I made this thread is because Kylington is playing fantastic as of late, and Juuso Valimaki has more upside along with doing well in the AHL. With a need for cap space in the offseason, Hanifin could fetch a good value package. So I'm curious what others would offer for Hanifin.
Id do Nylander for him. Not sure if Flames fans would though.

Nothing, he's absolutely not available. He's likely the most untouchable member for the Flames blueline.Might be useful to know what Calgary is looking for as far as a return. Mostly futures? Comparable roster forward? Package of picks and depth, etc.
??? You have heard of Giordano, right?Nothing, he's absolutely not available. He's likely the most untouchable member for the Flames blueline.
You did see the word LIKELY before that, right? But who is a team more likely to consider moving? A 22 year old top 4 defenseman, that is signed through 2024, or a 35 year old, even though he is elite???? You have heard of Giordano, right?
This. Hanifin will be Gio's replacement as the steady all around Dman for the future.Nothing, he's absolutely not available. He's likely the most untouchable member for the Flames blueline.
Names I'd want to hear in return for Hanifin are
- Brayden Point (lol.. I know... I can dream)
- Taylor Hall (lol.. I know... I can dream)
- Nolan Patrick
- Rickard Rakell
- Alex DeBrincat (lol.. I know... I can dream)
- Mark Stone (w Extension framework mapped out)
- Patrick Laine (w Extension) (lol.. I know... I can dream)
- Blake Wheeler with retained salary
- Mitch Marner (w Extension) (lol.. I know... I can dream)
He's not untradeable, just as Dougie Hamilton wasn't a year ago. But trading him has to make us a lot better at forward within the cap, as Elias Lindholm has.
Calgary has $66 million in cap space allotted for next season currently. That’s without a goalie signed and needing deals for tkachuk and Bennett.
But, they should be able to move Frolik and his $4.3 million for 1 season.
Based on that I doubt Calgary has interest in futures. They need to be pushing now. Would most likely want a scoring forward under contract or upcoming rfa. And not a bag age difference between the 2. Maybe max 3 years older.
Did some fixing for you.
Young RHS forward that is under control and can help now, a goalie that has a few more good years left minimum, top 4 RHS defenseman. Preferrably all making less than half of Hanifin, but similar price is fine if it's a worth while deal.
possible but no.Something around Kreider?
You did no fixing.
DeBrincat is a supervaluable player but ask any Blackhawks fan and they probably tell you how badly their team could use a guy like Hanifin. It's actually a trade both teams could look at.
Hall has a year left on his deal. Hanifin has way more. Not a dream to think NJD would want to add their best LD since Scott Niedermayer for a possible UFA while Calgary goes all in on two years of cup runs.
Laine is a flawed and valuable piece. Can't drive a line but can score with the best of them. If the Jets add Mark Stone they will have:
Wheeler
Scheifele
Byfuglien
Stone
as RHS forwards who belong on a #1PP, while having only the mediocre Morrissey at LHD. Laine's value continues to drop, too.
As for Marner the Leafs might be hooped in keeping him if no one takes on the Nylander albatross. Not that Hanifin's a great fit there as he and Rielly are similar.
I don't expect he's moved, but 3 guys that fit the above bolded bill, cap not yet figured out, are
Strome
Georgiev
DeAngelo is a little too much with those two, but I could go Pionk instead
It's not the big sexy 1:1 return the herd wants, and I point out we should remember the herd, constantly pining for RyJo for Jones as a standard, is in error since such close fits are the exception not the rule.
Georgiev and Pionk are elc and Strome is 3.1 x 2, so they add up to a ballpark fit close to Hanifin's 4.95-ish per, if not a small savings to Flames.
Maybe a small Ranger add, but close.
possible but no.
5OA talent if I remember, sucked previously, looked good under NYR. Should not be viewed on same plane of a similar drafted player who has been more successful, of course, but that said, he is a righty shot mid 6 F, and only one component in a package.Strome? Are you serious??? LMAO

So yes, serious.
