Weekes: Panthers pushing for Hanifin

[Double Dion]

Aside from Lundell, the Panthers have nothing interesting

That's how I see it too. There's nothing else there that interests me. Not interested in 20 nickels for a dollar type trades. Lundell or move him somewhere and get a rental return.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

With what draft capital? You want to talk about empty cupboards, Florida has empty cupboards.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Their gonna be great if they land him!

I see what you did their

 

[Jared Dunn]

I don't really see the fit on either side

 

[drede]

What would they even offer to get him

 

[Jovavic]

Florida to petition the league to change the rules to seven years on future draft picks like the NBA instead of the current three years

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

first + Samoskevich

Or Lundell would be my guess

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I'll echo the others in that I'm only really interested in Lundell.
Could use Knight too, if Markstrom does get traded.

We need another middle 6 wing like we need a hole in the head. Lundell or no dice for me.

Knight seems unnecessary with Wolf.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Knight seems unnecessary with Wolf.

Neither are a sure thing.
But does Knight even have value at 4.5 mill in the AHL?

I don’t see any way Zito gives up his first draft pick for a pending UFA. I also don’t think Hanifin is the kind of player we need for the playoffs right now either. A top 9 guy is the biggest need, Hanifin is a luxury to upgrade the D.

I agree but we aren’t exactly dealing from a strength. The thing I like about Samoskevich that’s different from our other wingers is that he’s a great skater

We don't have to move him to FLA. We could just trade him as a rental. We'd certainly get a better prospect than that.

Only thing that makes sense is if Forsling/Montour have said they’re testing the market

Don’t know if I agree.

Flames fans are way out to lunch if they think a rental gets Lundell

Rentals don't get top prospects

He wouldn't be a rental if he goes to Florida. It's been said that Florida is one of the spots he'd sign long term with.

I think we would. How many top pairing defensemen are available right now?

 

[thaman8765678]

Lol we aren't getting Lundell.

We got a ham sandwich and a gatorade for Tanev. I don't think we are getting way more here.

Knight
Sawchyn
2025 2nd

I think that if Florida offered this Calgary would hang up the phone.

Why is that? What did the Kings give up for a rental PLD? They gave up a signed player package.

Adding "traded with extension" isn't something that meaningfully increases trade value, or something that happens often. At best the value increases by like a 3rd round pick so they can get the 8th year (see: Damon Severson trade to obtain rights for 8th year)

 

[Petes2424]

It makes one of them expendable come the summertime. It’s the choice they’d be making.

PLD was an RFA. RFA is not rental
