Building an elite Defense for the long term

Created by: WJC_Enthusiast

Team: 2023-24 Arizona Coyotes

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 9, 2024

Published: Jan. 9, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

And this defense would be even better in 1-2 seasons when Lamoureux will play in the NHL.

A defense composed of the following would be among the best in the NHL for literally a decade:

Hanifin-Durzi
Moser-Lamoureux
Valimaki-??

Add this to Cooley, Keller, Guenther, Maccelli, Schmaltz, Crouse, Hayton and Geekie and this team could realistically be a legitimate cup contender for a decade, if not more.

Wrong Flames beat writer Eric Francis just said that Noah Hanifin is staying with the Flames, There's no way he'd sign long term with Arizona when they don't even have a permanent arena lined up.

Noah Hanifin would be going home to Boston long before signing with Arizona.

That's what's being reported on Twitter any ways. We shall see. Obviously he's had a change of heart.

I wouldn't read too much into what Eric Francis said. It seemed much more like him speculating to me, and he himself reported that Hanifin would not be re-signing like two months ago.

This is a tempting offer only because that 2025 1st could very well end up top-5 with how much parity there is in the league. I think we'd need a better prospect or at least a 2nd though. 1st, Soderstrom, 2nd, 3rd or 1st, Lamoureux, Soderstrom, 3rd would probably get it done
