TEADE: Elliotte Friedman Reveals Noah Hanifin Has Officially Been Traded
In a stunning development Wednesday night, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet dropped a bombshell, revealing the Vegas Golden Knights last-minute entry into the race for Calgary Flames defenceman Noah Hanifin, just before Friday's trade deadline.
Ryan Leslie, a Flames insider, quickly followed up, confirming that Hanifin is on his way to Vegas in a deal that's shaping up to be a blockbuster.
The announcement came during a live broadcast, courtesy of Friedman.
Despite recently adding forward Anthony Mantha from the Washington Capitals and reportedly seeking more firepower, the Golden Knights have successfully snagged the market's most sought-after defenseman.
This strategic move comes as the team gains financial leeway, with captain Mark Stone moved to long-term injured reserve (LTIR), freeing up over $7.3 million in cap space.
