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

[CanMerc]

The league does this already… they have doctors who check in on the players. Bettman was very open about the fact the league does independent checks on these players

Stone playing game 1 of the playoffs will hit like crack

2 years ago they missed the playoffs.

Would be hilarious if they do again.

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Ah yeah, love the cap circumvention wonder what the return is. Flames trade their #1D to a division rival to face him for the next 8 years is crazy

Grow up, you sound like a little whiny baby.
Let me ask you this did the oilers not add players when Larrson was on LTIR? Would it still be cheating and would cry like a child if #97 was hurt but ready for the playoffs and you guys added a player to replace the loss of him during the regular season?

Wait, did Vegas put Martinez on LTIR suddenly after he played a full game two nights ago?

 

[McFlyingV]

Calgary trying to re-create the old CCCP team collecting all the Russians? They'd just have to slightly alter their jersey's logo.

Gotta be one hell of a plus with that retention. Miromanov is like a guy who's almost good enough to be a dynamic OFD but his hockey IQ issues hold him back.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Why start confirming the least attractive piece???

 

[Breakers]

My god this taking a long time

Just regular IR, with Hanifin coming in at 25% on their cap they have enough space using Stone LTIR.

Stone saying "my back hurts" or "my spleen hurts"

Yeah that might work in the case of his back because he had spine surgery on it, but that doesn't work when you can physically see if the spleen has healed with diagnostic imaging. Backs are far more complicated.

Yes me and the entire NHL fandom are whiny little babies. It's two years the same story with Stone. Magically hurt and back for game 1 of the playoffs. Not the spirit of the rule, of course someone like Landeskog who is hurt for basically two full seasons is why the rule exists. Not for game 1 of playoff fixing like TBay and Vegas have done of late. The NHL is complicit in it, its just lame. I said the same when Kucherov situation happened.

I don't think you understand the difference there.

And you sure you don't mean Klefbom on LTIR, Once klefbom went on LTIR he didnt magically become healthy enough to play game 1 of the playoffs.

Protein & omega 3 is good for your brain!

 

[McFlyingV]

The league does look into that stuff

Well if thats the case then its should be pretty black and white if Stone is healed or not before the playoffs.

Stop. You're breaking it!

 

[Straight Fire]

I’ve been of Hanifin’s more vocal supporters. He has been an extremely high end 5v5 and PK defenseman, and most of the important metrics paint him as a top 30 defenseman. The only real weakness Hanifin has is he is a pretty bad PPQB

I've not been his biggest supporter. I think in the last 20 games or more his whole game has looked strong and his PP qbing not horrible. But I don't think he was on Sergachev level which was probably one of the reasons it wasn't a stop-gap fit there. I think he can do the role on most teams still even on VGK. I just wouldn't be expecting top 10-15 type play there. I think he fills a void adequately overall.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Just wait until Vegas trades for Toffoli

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Vegas is looking for a top pairing dman as Martinez won't be back next season.

But Hanifin has said he doesn't want to be a rental.

When did this Oilers adding with Larsson on LTIR happen?

 

[BKarchitect]

Yeah Miromanov has some nice tools and could potentially have some NHL upside with some fresh opportunities in Calgary but he's got to be like the third "piece" in this deal in terms of value. Filler going back.
