Confirmed Trade: [VGK/CGY/PHI] Noah Hanifin (75% retained), Mikhail Vorobyov to VGK; 2026 1st , 2025 cond. 3rd, Daniil Miromanov to CGY; 2024 5th to PHI

[lakeshirts37]

There's talk of an extension and Mark Stone is on LTIR until the playoffs, so they have his 9, or 9.5 mill cap hit. In all likelihood Calgary retains 50%

Right I know they can fit him this year - but moving forward?

 

[letsgowings9999]

Lmfao how is it a team with no prospects keep landing guys

Edstrom has to be a goner cause I think of anyone else they have with a 1st rounder

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Eh, 3rd behind Weegar. And Kylington's not too far behind either

Don't be one of those guys...he's a damn good DMan.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Right I know they can fit him this year - but moving forward?

Don't bring back a free agent, or trade a decent player for free.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I fricken knew it.

I mean, to be fair it was obvious considering he had almost full power of where he wanted to go.

But I hope the return to Calgary is a 2024 1st, David Edstrom and cap dump.

Anyone remember when we didn't hate Vegas and were happy for them? When their top defenseman was Nate Schmidt, Fleury carried them, and their top line was Smith-Karlsson-Marchessault? Now their top line is x-Eichel-Stone. Their top defenseman is Pietrangelo. And their starting goaltender changes every single season since Fleury left.

Think I hated them the second they made the Stanley Cup Finals. But more when they traded away half the inagural roster and fired Gallant.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hague is cookie cutter Calgary Flames defenseman.

Hague makes a ton of sense for Calgary if he’s in this deal.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nahhhh he’s way better than Andersson or Weegar

He is a #3 at lbest.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

LTIR

Definitely part of it, but they actually go after the biggest players every time

 

[JKG33]

This basically seals Chandler Stephenson to UFA, I'm assuming right? Gotta lose one of Hanifin, Marchessault or Stephenson, Marchy feels like a Vegas lifer, Hanifin is their new shiny toy and Stephenson might be too much to pay for his recent playoffs/seasons

I don't think such a thing exists

 

[Some Other Flame]

Don't be one of those guys...he's a damn good DMan.

Yeah, no, I've never been a Hani"fan" and that's not about to change today. I literally called him the Monahan of defencemen a couple of months ago.

 

[CupofOil]

Definitely part of it, but they actually go after the biggest players every time

They do but they were functioning with a bigger cap advantage over just about everybody else

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hague makes a ton of sense for Calgary if he’s in this deal.

Bruh, something stupid like Hague, Edstrom and a 1st would be a siiiiiick return

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I don't think such a thing exists

Yeah, they do an impressive job of moving on from guys regardless of sentimental reasons but he's taken to their identity so much that I can't see them moving off of him

 

[Gurglesons]

Hague makes a ton of sense for Calgary if he’s in this deal.

If they are extending him. Hague has to be right?

 

[avsfan9]

Maybe. Will be funny to see the meltdowns here if that doesn't go according to HFBoards plans though.

McDavid and Draisaitl turned Hanifin into a pylon last time he played them in a playoff round, he can't do shit to those guys.

Not many can but Mcdavid and Draisaitl don’t play a full 60 mins.

 

[muddywaters]

I want Conroy to trade something significant to Edmonton ... spread every last good player the Flames have around the Pacific !!

 

[cyris]

Lmao go to sleep kid, the adults are talking.

No one believes Vegas is the better team. Lindholm is far from a fumble, he's been playing selke level since coming over.

Vegas won the cup with almost this exact team.
Rielly Smith out and Hanifin and Mantha in.

 

[SensFactor]

Vegas likely to repeat

 

[Some Other Flame]

 

[InfinityIggy]

Bruh, something stupid like Hague, Edstrom and a 1st would be a siiiiiick return

I would be pleasantly surprised if it’s that good.

 

[HanSolo]

This was needed. Martinez has been declining pretty quickly this year. That along with icing so many AHLers has badly hit Vegas' defensive play.

 

[DJJones]

Hanifin has been on a bit of streak the last couple months but Andersson has been ahead of him for years and Weegar was our best defensemen last year and has 15 goals this year.

Love Kylington but he's a distant 4th right now.

 

[BKarchitect]

Hague and Edstrom alone would be an excellent return never mind a pick…guess we shall see!

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Vegas won the cup with almost this exact team.
Rielly Smith out and Hanifin and Mantha in.

So?

2024 is a different year.

Tampa got swept by CBJ and then won the cup with the exact same team.

Not scared.

 

[Double Dion]

Don't know who this, could be bullcrap but .....
