[5 14 6 1]

Would be funny if it wasn't so sad. They are within striking distance of Vegas in the playoff chase too.

 

[WhataKnight]

But……Hague….

 

[DJJones]

Alright well their 2nd best D then

Hanifin's been #3 the whole time. All in the same range though. 20-35 ranking

 

[crazyfisherman]

Alright well their 2nd best D then

Still have weegar too . But realistically all 3 are pretty interchangeable

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Hanifin is a smooth skating top pair defenceman. The best one on the market. How is this a "fumble?"

I just don't know why they would trade assets to only get knocked out by the Canucks, but it's cool if they want to try.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

He’s a hell of a player. He’s become one of the best D in the league this year. Congrats Knights. Now do us a favour and beat the Oilers.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

But……Hague….

i forgot u guys even had Hague lol

 

[lakeshirts37]

This is a rental right? Where are they getting the cap space?

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Massive overpayment by Vegas to only be kicked out in round 2 by the Canucks

Atta boy, at least your not a whiner like all those Oiler fans!

 

[Some Other Flame]

Alright well their 2nd best D then

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

 

[Haatley]

The Canucks who fumbled the Lindholm trade?

Vegas is the better team.

No they aren’t

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

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

 

[DistantThunderRep]

LTIR and Betteman.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I know nothing about Edstrom...anyone?

 

[BKarchitect]

Hanifin is a smooth skating top pair defenceman. The best one on the market. How is this a "fumble?"

He brings a really nice balance to Pietrangelo and Theodore as well, both being RHD's.

They will be able to roll their top 4 of:

Hanifin-Pietrangelo
McNabb-Theodore

Hell, Hague and Whitecloud probably is the best third pair in the league as well (if neither is in the deal).

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

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

Nahhhh he’s way better than Andersson or Weegar

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

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%

 

[HanSolo]

Stone playing game 1 of the playoffs will hit like crack

 

[JPeeper]

Give me the deets on the return already dammit. I'll be fine with multiple decades worth of 1sts, thank you.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Stacked team again. Cheaters year after year.

31 other owners are morons with no one to blame but themselves.

 

[BMOK33]

Hanifin is a smooth skating top pair defenceman. The best one on the market. How is this a "fumble?"

Assumption is he prefers to go East somewhere so if they gave up a bunch I guess the belief is he is not likely to sign there. Add in they're tight on space anyway

 

[WhataKnight]

i forgot u guys even had Hague lol

They’ll love him in Calgary. He’s underrated if you ask me. Keep him motivated and no one there should complain.

 

[Bond]

Nahhhh he’s way better than Andersson or Weegar

Nah, they are all #2s

 

[Gurglesons]

Hague is cookie cutter Calgary Flames defenseman.
