Have fun with that contract on the back end.

[Canovin]

No state tax. That would be 9M in Calgary?

 

[SI90]

Geez

 

[Dominance]

Calgary should be happy they dodged that bullet.

 

[hangman005]

Have fun with that contract on the back end.

We would have traded it for future considerations by that point

17M if you listen to HF

Calgary should be happy they dodged that bullet.

The Flames offered him an 8 years x 8.5 million deal though.

 

[AvroArrow]

And they got Pietro at 8.8 until he's like almost 40, interesting.

 

[Dominance]

The Flames offered him an 8 years x 8.5 million deal though.

Non-Toronto or Vancouver Canadian teams should stop employing Americans.

Hard to complain about 8x7 if you are a Knights fan. We can copy and paste every single “ooohhhh that’s gonna suck on the back end!” comment from every single long-term UFA/UFA to be thread but from a cap standpoint, that deal is well under market value and Hanifin has a ton of good hockey years to come.

Non-Toronto or Vancouver Canadian teams should stop employing Americans.

Montreal has had no trouble from Americans either. Or anyone really.

 

[The Great Weal]

Have fun with that contract on the back end.

Bold of you to assume he won't get traded in the next 4 years

 

[Rubi]

Not too surprised. Vegas was one of Hanifin's preferred trade destinations. 8 yrs x $7m is good value for Vegas. Certainly much less than he would have gotten from Cgy.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

That’s a good deal.

If he doesn’t get a NTC they might trade him in a couple years anyways, they’re ruthless over there

 

[waitin425]

Good deal

 

[Canovin]

That’s a good deal.

If he doesn’t get a NTC they might trade him in a couple years anyways, they’re ruthless over there

NTC doesn't change anything. The league will punish Ottawa for it any way

 

[canuckslover10]

Have fun with that contract on the back end.

Could just put him on LTIR .

 

[God]

8x7m is a goddamn steal.

 

[Captain97]

People are saying worry about the back end? He just turned 27. By the time this deal is questionable that'll probably be what a 3-4 dman costs and he'll probably be that.

For the next 4-5 years it's a great deal.

 

[BB88]

Have fun with that contract on the back end.

What’s the problem?

He’s 27y and 7M is not high end money..


Based on your comment no UFA should ever get a longterm deal

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Bold of you to assume he won't get traded in the next 4 years

Or put on LTIR

 

[Rubi]

With an 8 year contract Hanifin will be 35 when the contract expires. Certainly not an age where Hanifin will be infirm. He'll probably lose a step but he's smooth enough and smart enough to compensate in other ways.

 

[Lt Dan]

8 years, $7M AAV and he will be on the LITR every March​
