Which teams are the most likely trade destinations for Flames’ Hanifin?
Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli joins Kyper and Bourne to discuss what the next moves are for the Calgary Flames after trading Chris Tanev and which teams could be likely landing spots for defenceman Noah Hanifin.
According to multiple sources, the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes had discussions about Elias Pettersson that advanced to a stage where both the Canucks and the player needed to make serious decisions about where their relationship was headed.
The Canucks ultimately decided in favour of another attempt at extending Pettersson, and he, facing the possibility Vancouver could move him, allowed agents Pat Brisson and JP Barry to resume negotiations. Previously, the talented forward indicated he preferred to wait until after the season.
No extension is complete at this time, but there certainly is momentum in that direction, as Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reported Wednesday. Should it be completed, it will allow the Canucks a very clear picture of their future cap situation heading into next week’s trade deadline.
