Three Teams Emerge As Frontrunners To Aquire Calgary Flames Defenceman
Speculation has been buzzing regarding a possible parting of ways between the Calgary Flames and defenseman Noah Hanifin, especially with the trade deadline looming on March 8th. Hanifin, eyeing free agency next summer, is reportedly looking for a move to a contender, while the Flames navigate an uncertain future.
David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period shed light on Hanifin's preferences, linking him to potential long-term contracts with the Arizona Coyotes, Boston Bruins, and New Jersey Devils. Pagnotta shared, "
Hanifin held off signing an eight-year extension with Calgary at the start of the season worth a reported $7.5M per season. The Flames reapproached him recently, but no deal yet. Teams know what he wants long-term, which might not help trade negotiations from Calgary's perspective, but if the Flames can't convince him to stay, they'll look to move him.
"Despite the uncertainty, the 27-year-old Hanifin has been putting up solid performances this season, on track to surpass his career-high of ten goals. In 45 games, the Boston native has notched 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists), accumulated 22 penalty minutes, and holds a plus-ten rating.
With the trade deadline approaching, the fate of Noah Hanifin remains a captivating storyline, with the Flames possibly making a final push for his extension. Meanwhile, speculation is rife about which of the mentioned contenders would be the perfect fit for Hanifin.
