There's just no way that's what Hanifin returns in a deal. If they got just the first or just Stankoven it would be considered a good deal for Calgary at this point.

Agree it does seems a bit high. But there is a precedent that a top 4 defender signed to a LT extension returns a Player, Prospect and 1st. If the Flames retained money on Hanifin which Dallas would need for cap purposes it would be closer. The Stars would need to move money out to make it work. Marchment could be another player the Flames may have interest in but he has a 10 team no trade clause. If I was Conroy, the player I would be interested in would be Thomas Harley (ex. Faksa and Harley), but I don't think Dallas would want to move their young defender after his play in the playoffs last year.

I'd take that deal if I was CGY. Even if it was Stankoven, a 1st, and a mid-rd pick.

It’s not asking that much. A late first in a normal draft is what Dallas would spend on D help at the deadline. This way they get a long term piece with a contract in place. Stankoven is a stud but he’s clearly behind Wyatt and he is, very small, to play centre.

This is about right for return before you factor in we have to take on Faksa’s fairly ugly contract. I think it’s fair both sides. But, I was more focussed on whether the deal even works cap-wise and it looks like we might have to retain up to half to make it work. At that point, that has to be an out and out win for Dallas
