Value of: Noah Hanifin for a 2nd line RHS RW

[unicornpig]

i'd do vilardi or kempe.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

that's how i see it too, but if someone throws him out there LA should be all over it.

I posted his stats earlier in this thread, the guy is playing excellent. Points dont mean everything and his will come since the chances back it up

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Hanifin for Sam Bennett.

Is Hanifin even struggling? He’s looked fine to me this season, not sure why the Flames would be looking to move him.

They aren't, some fans just have really weak mental's and need a scapegoat after every loss

Every fan base needs whipping boys but I’m just not seeing why Hanifin would be it, he’s played well this season I’ve thought.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be all for the Flames selling low on Hanifin though lol

I don't get it either, someone tried to say its his production being low while getting PP2 time but like PP2 has literally only gotten 2 points and he assisted in 1 of them so idk. Some fans just think its still 2019 when Hanifin was still underperforming his contract and just pretend he didn't take massive strides last year or something

 

[crazyfisherman]

People like to shit on hanifin because he shouldnt be on pp2 over kylington, which is stupid reason to be a whipping boy. Hes offensive game has stall but hes still the 2nd best defensive guy on this team and its not even close.you know theres an irrational hate on the guy from the reaction on the disallowed fox goal against NYR. Fox was allowed to cleanly walk in all the way from the blue line untouched, but it was hanifins fault because he had to watch the net front guys then challenge a guy with all the speed while hes flat footed. No one blames the center or the winger for literally moving away from fox.

 

[cheechoo]

I'm actually fine with moving Hanifin.

One of the most vanilla defenders in the league. And that's okay, but I don't see him as having an irreplaceable skillset. I think his decision making with the puck is lacklustre sometimes but he's an above average defender that can skate.

A younger 2nd line winger or something sounds apt.

The issue though is I hate the Flames defensive depth. I guess we could toss Valimaki into the fire, who's more talented anyways but still figuring it out.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I'd probably offer Labanc and Hatakka for Hanifin. I'd like to see Hanifin across Karlsson.

 

[Guitpik]

whats 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

Now this is laughable. I don't see where the Kings have interest in Hanifan. If they're looking to trade for a top pairing defenseman, I believe they'll target a little higher than Noah.

 

[Habs Halifax]

personally, i don't mind if the flames trade a 1st but if so i'd prefer a C like Hertl, Larkin or Strome depending on their availability near the deadline. we don't need more LHDs but it's painfully obvious we need both better finishers and playmakers up front.

Very fair and I respect that narrative.

 

[super6646]

Still hilarious that Shero turned down Hanifin and Bennett for Hall and Vatanen. This league is full of clowns.

Anyway, Flames can't trade Hanifin for a forward right now. Maybe next year if Kylington continues to be awesome and Valimaki improves by a lot.

If that happens then, I dunno, Hanifin for Nylander

No way Toronto does that. Top line winger for a 2nd pairing LHD is a bad deal.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Connor Brown is the guy you need.

 

[Deen]

Hanifin is like our new Robyn Regehr with a little more offensive punch and less physicality. Losing him would gut us.

 

[Tripledeke333]

Is there a trade there to be had? Hanifin's development has hit a brick wall despite ample opportunity to grow while the Flames have a glaring hole in their RW depth

Habs offer Toffoli

 

[teemussalami]

Not that Calgary should trade Hanifin, but id offer Zadina, a pick and a prospect.

 

[leeroggy]

Isles offer Bailey and Aho for Hanifan! If you need to fully balance the money we could take Tyler Pitlick back.

Pretty please!

 

[HighLifeMan]

Hanifin can and should return a top line winger due to his age, ability, position, and contract. The demand for #2/3 defensemen league wide in his age range is through the roof. Names like Boeser and Konecny are the types of players that would need to be discussed (not saying there is a fit with either of those teams).

 

[Art.Vandelay]

Should've just gone after Garland when AZ was parting out their roster for picks.

The only reason Garland was traded was to help get rid of OEL's contract.

 

[Art.Vandelay]

You can have Kessel for a lot less than Hanifin. He was only due $1mm going into the season so it won't cost much cash. Just a draft pick.

 

[NinjaTurtle]

Your biggest issue with Hanifin is deployment. Take him off the PP and save his ice time for even strength and PK.

Let’s not gut our defence for a winger. Move Monahan for a winger (or centre upgrade) or move some futures for a winger. Heck, recall a prospect before we move Hanifin.

He hasn't even been bad on PP2, his xGF on the man advantage is 27th in the league. That's ahead of names like Josi, Klingberg, Pionk, Seider, Werenski, Doughty, McAvoy, Hedman, Hamilton, Ekblad, Krug, and many more.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Noah Hanifin is not available.

He wasn't available for Eichel, he's certainly not available for a 2nd line RW
