Thread: RHD for Hanifin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzmets</b></div><div>I think that Buffalontakes that trade but it is by no means a steal. Hanafin is a very similar player to Miller. He tends to get overrated because of where he was drafted. He had a very good year in 18-19, but the rest of his career he has been a below average 2nd pair defenseman without alot of physical abilities but not very good underlying numbers</div></div>

Buffalo absolutely wins this trade.
Hanifin is the better player (not saying it’s a massive gap but he is definitely better)
Hanifin has the better Contract
Hanifin is the younger player

Hanifin has progressed every year in the league (minus last year which his defensive partner took a large step back)

Flames absolutely walk away from this trade

Thread: Who wants Lucic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I was honestly gonna take a shot at this, but 3 years at 6 mill for Lucic is possibly the worst value in the NHL.
If the Flames want to get rid of him and not retain salary they'll have to put in a nice kicker and it would have to be a team that can take the hit or another bad (but shorter) contract comes back.
Maybe Subban for Lucic? Calgary adds something? idk</div></div>

I assume Calgary would have to add a kicker or take a salary back. Outside of lucic’s dollar figure and length of contract he also has a full NMC (most people have speculated that lucic would waive it for the expansion draft so as not to have to protect him but that’s not a 100% for sure thing.

That’s why I wanted to see what other teams would look for because as flames fans it’s easy to say lucic to team x for a pick and a prospect but I want to see what other sides look for

Thread: burnt out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I don't think they will get caved. White's already a few seasons into his NHL career, and Norris and Brown are both NHL ready as is. They have vet Cs to surround them already with Anisimov and Tierney. They also have guys like Bobby Ryan and Connor Brown who are great veterans to have around those guys.</div></div>

Veteran does not equal mentor / leader / good guy for your players to be around .

Bobby Ryan is on the back 9 of dealing with his personal demons. Good for him I’m glad but he’s not really in any shape to mentor young players

Tierney is invisible on the ice and off.

It’s been documented the DJ smith doesn’t trust anisimov That much. He’s a decent player but not a leader

White has potential but with the departures of Duchene and pageau he took a step back (hence needing some real veteran support)

Backlund has been an assistant captain, a very vocal player a leader for the team on the ice and off (super involved in charitable work) THIS is the type of leader you would need
