This year's NHL trade deadline lacks top-tier options, resulting in inflated prices for players like Noah Hanifin, Chris Tanev, and Sean Walker. Despite their costs, acquiring a defenseman could be pivotal for teams eyeing a deep playoff run.
The Trade Cost for Hanifin Keeps Going Up
Hanifin, highly coveted, draws interest from former Flames GM Brad Treliving. Treliving previously orchestrated a major trade involving Hanifin, Dougie Hamilton, and Elias Lindholm. While Hanifin's offensive output hasn't matched expectations, his two-way play is his standout quality.
Market dynamics have elevated Hanifin's price, exemplified by recent trades involving Sean Monahan and Elias Lindholm, both requiring significant assets. The Flames seek a first-round pick as a baseline, but the market's competitiveness suggests the final price could exceed that.
Will he sign? Get traded? Still waiting on definitive word on Noah Hanifin and the offer Calgary put on the table for him. But if he's on the move, likely the longer this goes, there is a clear perfect trade comp for the #Flames to chase.
Several Playoff Heavyweights Eyeing Last Minute Roster Additions
Several teams, including Detroit, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Vancouver, and Toronto, are actively pursuing Hanifin. Trade precedents, such as the Hampus Lindholm and Vladislav Gavrikov deals, provide context for potential trade packages, likely featuring multiple picks and prospects.
Crucially, Hanifin's willingness to sign an extension may influence trade negotiations. While he desires to leave Calgary, uncertainty surrounds his future commitment.
Ultimately, Hanifin's acquisition demands a first-round pick and additional valuable assets, making him a coveted but costly target in a trade market characterized by scarcity.
As the trade deadline looms, so does a decision for Noah Hanifin: Re-sign with the Flames, or commit to testing the market. Hanifin sat down with Sportsnet's @EricFrancis to provide some insight into his mindset.
