Ritchie isnt gonna get that much
Krejci isnt gonna get that much
Your expansion thing is just expansion with extra steps lol. They can just draft Bjork and the bruins will trade Moore somewhere else for a 7th (or Moore and a 6th for a 7th if you are one of those "cap dump" people) - so thats a no
The flames trade is a tough one, but bruins likely decline as they dont wanna give up THAT MUCH for Hanafin. Its not Debrusk AND Urho AND a 2nd AND Kase AND Clifton. Like maybe 2 or 3 of those pieces and Zboril/Moore or something idk

Now for my opinion:
Bruins dont want Sam Bennett

That’s not even close to getting hanifin so far this year hanifin has been a top 5 defensmen in the nhl.

umm... Zero chance the Bruins do this. Bennett has close to no value and Hanafin has not been a top 5 dman. What are you talking about? He is 4th on his own team in ice time. LOL.

he is 2nd to last behind Tanev and last in blocks for Dmen on calgary. He is 4th in minutes and 4th in points.

Nice stat reading, try watching him play. Hes clear been Calgary's #1 all season so far and the Hanifin - Tanev pairing is statistically the best pairing in the entire league

Lol. What statistics make them the best in the entire league? LOL

Again The coach is playing him less than his other dmen. Fact.

I like that you ignore his 1st five pedestrian seasons. Tell me to ignore stats and watch and then promtly make up stats about how they are the best pairing in the league

Thats because you are including special teams. Hanifin plays over a minute more than everyone on the entire team at even strength per game. Fact

As for how good that pairing is how about you read This and This then get back to me.

Finally, what do his first 5 seasons have to do with him having a breakout year?

Flames accpet

You clearly don’t know very much about hockey if you think that hanifin hasn’t been a top 5 defensmen this year, but you’ll eventually learn hopefully

lol what?

And they are playing in the most offensive division

No the flames don’t accept

We get some much back

Debrusk would be on the flames 4th line and kase would also be 4th line, vakanen would be 3rd pairing, hanifin is a top 5 defensmen in the league it would take a massive overpayment to get him

He hasn't been, or the flames wouldn't be out of a playoff spot. . By your literal logic Jeremy Lauzon is also a 5 top Defenseman in the NHL. Pretty sweet.

You should probably take up a billboard bud and let the coach know he should get more ice time.

I am glad that you admit Hanafin doesn't particularly excel at the PP or the PK.

If you REALLY want to go all analytics. Might want to take a gander at Kase.

I also really love the thought that Debrusk and Kase would be on your 4th line. Debrusk is at 60% in CF & FF% & a career 54.

If all of your players are so much better, why do the Flames stink and the Bruins don't?

And the Vaakanainen 3rd pairing thing... Yeah, probably for a year or two and then the hope/projection is he turns into Esa Lindell.

Bennett has no real value. The picks are probably 10-15 spots apart so whatever, so I am not sure why they are in there. The deal would be Hanafin for Kase and 2nd. You might be able to convince me Clifton too. Or Kase and Vaakaninen, but I think there would be a 2nd -3rd comign back to Boston.

I actually like Hanafin. He is pairing well with Tanev, great. You are basing a trade this big on a 13 game stretch? Debrusk hasn't scored this season in 7 games. he is Still averaging 24 goals per 82g. He is averaging 28 goals per 82games over the last two seasons. Tkachuk over the last 2 is 31 per 82 gp. Yes, Tkachuk is much better. I am not saying that.

Did you even read the articles I linked? Doesn't seem like it

You are clearly an imbecile and not worth arguing with because you won’t change your opionion even though it’s 100% incorrect debrusk isn’t better than gaudreau tkachuk or Mangiapane so he would be 4th line

..

gotta love how he blatantly ignores the 83% and 93% offensive zone starts for DeBrusk and Kase

He’s just a biased fan and thinks his teams players are the best even when proven wrong it’s pretty common. 😂😂😂

It was a neat blog.

Lol. good one bud. You keep talking about watching and not using stats. Your guys are not better. That is why you haven't seen a lot of playoff hockey and you won't make it this year either. Your guys simply aren't that good. You are about to trade Bennett who some lunatic flames fan thought was worth a 1st rd pick is about to be traded for a clubhouse cancer and all around dirt bag that they literally could have had for free. LOL. I am not sure it is me who overrates.

Again by your own standards you set in place. Debrusk, Kase, Lauzon & Zboril are all elite. Lauzon and Zboril in particular as their numbers are VERY similar to Hanafin's and are obviously all Dmen. They also are not getting PP time, but at lest they are killing Penalties.

As for the Ozone starts... Ok. That doesn't help you keep control of the puck. Also - you also speak of watching... If you did watch, you would know the Bruins start their 4th line in the d zone for most faceoffs. if not them it's Bergeron. FYI - Bergeron the guy with the most Selke's in NHL history starts in Ozone 63%. He must not be very good defensively. Sean Kuraly starts in Dzone 84%. He must be The 4th line center version of Nik Lidstrom.


I guess the flames are just too loaded with talent to win. Like the NBA dream teams. Just too much talent to actually win anything. Not enough puck to go around.

Here: So weird he isn't on ANY of these lists being he is one of the top5 in the entire NHL.

You are using Blogs and a 13 game stretch to define a 400 game NHL career.

Idiot 😂😂😂😂😂😂, I’m not gonna waste my time with you, you won’t learn.

so, you got nothing, huh. Good effort bud.

I have plenty but I don’t feel like spending the time typing a long paragraph when I know it’s pointless because you won’t change your Opinion. arguing with you is pointless
