Value of: Hanifin to the Leafs.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I fully believe that trelilving over from Calgary and I think Hanifin is the guy he's targeting., that's his guy he brought him to calgary and he seems like the most likely to move on that Calgary defense.

what do you think will be going back to Calgary if that deal does happen?

I personally think Lilly will be involved.

I don't think Nylander is involved because by all accounts the Leafs don't seem interested in breaking up the core.

but I do think Lilly will be involved.

I think Brad wants to bild a big defense and Hanifin is 6"3 about 2010 he fits the bill

The only way I see Liljegren being involved is if the Leafs think his absolute ceiling at this point is a #4 guy. Hanifin is a 1 year rental and Liljegren is a potential top 4 RHD who is still young-ish.

Which yeah, maybe that's what they think of him though. I don't know.

Dallas beats that offer

What offer?

I said I think would be involved, and I do, I didn't say anything about it being 1 for 1

If he won't re-sign then Calgary will do everything in their power to move him in a trade and sign. I really don't see how Toronto can fit him in long term if they also plan on keeping all 4 of their expensive forwards too.

Well if they want to they can have about 20 million in space

 

[Some Other Flame]

To maximize Hanifin's value, the Flames will move him to a team willing to give him an immediate longterm extension, of which there will likely be a few. So if the Leafs are only offering the value of a one year rental, then safe to say he's not going there.

And how much of that would be eaten up by raises for matthews, nylander, and hanifin? You'd have to use what's left to replace all those players you dumped to create the 20M

Why do people make incomplete trade scenarios with seemingly very little logic or thoughtfulness... lmfao
This guy for this guy, plus or minus, maybe sorta kinda thing...

Leafs should make a run at a guy like UFA Scott Mayfield before spending assets and cap on Hanifin etc

Give me Hanifin all day every day.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

If the Leafs can make room for him, he'd be a scary pickup.

Tell me you don't watch flames games without telling me you don't watch flames games

 

[AustonMarner]

Another stupid indirect comment of someone who clearly has no clue or idea what I watch...

So you would consider trading Hanifin for Liljegren+ as a Flames fan?

PS tell me you don't watch Islanders or leafs hockey without telling me...

 

[AustonMarner]

Give me Hanifin all day every day.

Good luck with that

What's the hype with Hanifin - he never stood out to me as a top pairing guy

 

[Fatass]

Lily + Leafs 2023 first + 2024 second for Hanafin?

Leafs don't own a 2nd round pick for the next three years...
They only have 4 picks in the next 3 drafts (23' - 25') that are in the first 3 rounds...
Can't make that trade...

 

[Bond]

It's Nylander or bust from the Leafs IMO. Don't trust Tre on not trading one of the big four. Hamilton wasn't available until he was traded.

I’ve watched 98% of Hanifin’s games as a Flame, he’s not a top pairing guy. He’s a really good #3, even on a cup contender. He is not a #1 or #2

But that trade was a slam dunk win for Calgary especially since Fox ended up in New York.

As much As I'd like to have Hanifin he's not better than Nylander

I don’t think Nylander is worth significantly more than Hanifin. #2/3 D versus a top six winger. If Leafs want to upgrade on D I think Nylander would be the base for the Flames.
The comment is more general. I don’t think Tre is opposed to moving Nylander if he thinks it improves the Leafs.

 

[Drumman44]

Toronto should do something unhinged and trade Marner for Hanifin and Lindholm.

They currently have 3 for 23, 8 for 24 and 5 for 25 (possibly 6 depending on the condition being met on the first round pick.)

*** oops totally missed the first 3 rounds part***

It’s going to have to be Nylander, and it will be well worth it. I’m not sure they can even put a package together to get Hanifin otherwise.

Liljegren still needs protection in the NHL and obviously can’t carry a pairing. We just seen that at Worlds. Where Sweden gave him that opportunity and he was atrocious.

You just don’t get a player of Hanifin’s quality without paying the price. These guys don’t grow on trees. You have to draft them, or you pay a huge price to obtain them.

He’s the exact thing they need, to take the pressure off of Rielly come playoff time. He’s a pair carrying Dman and can log a lot of minutes. Much more important than Nylander will ever be. At least when it comes down to winning in the playoffs.

All you have to do is look at teams who win in the playoffs. They have 2, sometimes even 3 “Pair Carrying” Dman. The Leafs have 1. Have some really good role playing Dmen like McCabe and Brodie but they can’t carry a pair. Brodie continues to prove this.

I trade Nylander for him and run to the bank. The window is open. Treliving seems to understand what they need, but he also understands what it’s going to cost. There will be several teams lining up if Hanifin is on the market. You have to do it, or we’d be sitting here again next year looking for the same type of player.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Depends on how motivated Toronto is really. I agree with others above an ideal return for Calgary includes Nylander. He's got the speed, skill, and shot they've been lacking on the RW since they traded Iggy basically.

I think it would be interesting with both players having a year left to see what the fit is like before talking extension too. If it's a disaster you can cut your losses at the TDL.
