The Kings would be interested in Hanfin however i don't see why we need to include the rangers in the trade. I would offer Athansiou
Potential team USA d man for a guy who barely got a contract. Makes sense
I suggest u watch his goal against the leafs. That was a skill goal with speed not many nhl players can do. He is a former 30 goal scorer To suggest he barely has a contract is laughable at best.
Whats laughable is the fact you think I thought he was worth him. No one offers there top offer off the hop. Its called trade talks not offer accept. There is a feeling out process with any tradeswhats laughable is suggesting a player like Athanasiou is worth a young top pair D on a sweetheart contract for 3 more years
try Turcotte, Byfield, Clarke types to get the Flames to even consider the proposal
PP2 has literally only scored 2 goals this year, 1 of them was assisted by Hanifin.
He is also +9, 37th league wide in CF%, 15th in the league in GF%, 48th in SF%, 58th in xGF%, 12th in GF/60, 33rd in GA/60, 14th in SF/60, 15th in CF/60, 95th in CA/60, and 24th in xGF/60. Oh and this is out of 217 defensemen that have played at least 50 minutes this season.
You do not have to be putting up points to be really effective
This is exactly why you don't use Corsi stats for individuals. Hanafin happens to be 15th out of 22 on his team for GF% and 5th on defence. And yes, my usage is just as useless.
Not sure where you found this stat.
Hanifin and Andersson are 1 and 2 in GF% on the Flames defence.
They're both running over 75% 5 on 5.
Hanifin is the new Brodie in Calgary; the whipping boy for absolutely no reason.
yeah we could use a RW but trading a #2D for a right wing just hurts our offense more than it helps because Hanifin is the key possession guy on our team
The Habs should be rebuilding, particularly if they are trading Toffoli. The fact you are looking at team needs and not potential shows that you're not assessing this properly.Toffoli is a value contract for 3 years. A 1st is a starting point, not a max point. You would say the same thing about Backlund if you were in a selling mode and wanted futures. Toffoli as a pending UFA rental at the deadline is a 1st and grade B.
And Valimaki would not be a target of mine as a Habs fan. Don't hate him but he is not a team need for the Habs.

And no, I don't think Backlund is worth more than a 1st. Sorry, 30ish year old forwards are not worth more, unless they are top tier.
does something around hanifin + pitlick <> toffoli + kulak works for the habs?
Tyler toffoli would be my target
Hanifin for Toffoli
I think that's a deal Montreal would gladly make...
Pretty well the same numbers as my source. What is one of us missing here?
You are using GF% I'm using CF%. I was talking about how useless Corsi stats were for individuals.
So Hanifin, 2nd and 3rd for Strome (UFA after this season, might not re-sign), Hajek, and two 4th's?
Awful, really awful for Flames. Downgrade Hanifin for Hajek, downgrade two picks, and add UFA. No thanks.
Strome fits the bill and has added value as a pivot
Agree he could be risk to not extend but amenable to you talking w/him first so there is immediate extension 5 seconds before you get him, as we have seen in other deals.
As to Hajek, he is a good buy low candidate essentially being thrown in for free so you have at least stopgap as you lose Hani.
As to the picks, yes a downgrade, but that is 2 picks this yr in a good deep draft for picks that are next yr
