Weekes: Panthers pushing for Hanifin

Not significantly more than just as a UFA.
Look at what the Canucks paid for Lindholm (unsigned) vs what they got for Horvat (signed shortly after the trade)

Who knows. Knight is 22 years old tho lmao. Askarov is the same age, hasn't cracked the NHL, same with wolf, Levi doesn't look good.
20 year old Knight was a quality NHL netminder.
If he costs less, we pay less, if he's a dump we'll happily take it on.
I'd rather pay a 1st for Knight than any of the packages flames fans think they'll get for Markstrom

Sure, but they're the most comparable situations I could think of given the trades were 1 year apart, involved the same team twice, and are comparable players.
If you have an example to contradict me I'd love to hear it

Seriously, what do they have to give lol
It's gonna be something immensely underwhelming like a 2027 1st + Sourdif/Sawchyn/Jansson + cap
TB has nothing to offer no picks this prospect pool has been drained
Boston
No first this yr
1st (2025) + Poitras C + Mason Lohrei D + Geekie
Calgary
Hanifin retention 50%
I don't really buy it tbh. Same with the Tampa stuff. Neither team has a first for 2 years, both have pretty low ranked prospect pools, both would have to do a decent amount of roster surgery to keep him beyond this year.
This feels like Calgary leaking this to try to gain a little more leverage in the market to me.

This. No doubt Hanifin wants to sign in Tampa/Florida, but Calgary is better off taking the best rental offer and Hanifin can head south in July

If he wants to come here, it can be in July.
We don't have the available assets nor should we move more of our good prospects to do it.
We need a forward, not a defenseman.

Then you aren't very good at identifying talent. One is a top 5 NHL goaltender. The other is a bottom third AHL goalie. Our AHL backup is way better than Knight. He's not good. We have a guy in the ECHL who is likely better. He's substantially worse than any of the 3 goalies you've used in NJ this year. Markstrom leads the league is GSAE. Your opinion is really dumb. It would be like saying you prefer William Stromgren to Jack Hughes.

Busy being Cupped, thank you very much.
The only way The Panthers have the assets is if they move one of their core players, which I don't see them doing, since they don't really have a glaring defensive need, and are SOOO much better defensively than last years team.
What they do need is either a 3rd line winger or a sniper they can play next to Barkov and move ERod down to the 3rd line with Lundell and Loustarinen, and I even doubt they really have the assets to acquire even that kind of player.
I think all of this Hanafin to Florida hype is just that, nothing more than a way to drive up the price.

I can't blame them for doing it, but Ray Charles could see what's really happening here.
Ugh.
I feel like the Leafs are in tough against Florida as is.
I think it would be great for Florida, but I don't know what they have to offer that could beat some other teams best offer

One is 34 years old. Markstrom is a move to try and salvage a lost season, where based on his history he MAYBE lives up to his contract next year and when he's 36 is likely actively harming the devils. His poor play in 22-23 and 20-21 are big reasons why Calgary missed the playoffs those years. And the asking prices from calgary fans are utterly ridiculous
One is 22, and would be a play to align with the long term window of our core. Dustin Wolf is older than him. And Knight already has multiple years under his belt as a quality NHL goalie. Bring in a stopgap like DeSmith just in case and roll with DeSmith Daws and Knight. Save cap, assets.

It's a good marketing tool. I'm sure Zito is laughing as well.
You heard his comment about buying an Armani suit but having to wait until it goes on sale at TJ Maxx right?
His best available trade piece(s) IMO are the 2025 2nd + a B level prospect not named Samoskevich or Sourdif.

I have no doubt in my mind most of the players in this poker game have already shown their hands.
The Flames know what they have to choose from, the major sticking point is Hanafin and his willingness to sign a new deal.
