Preds and Flames trade talks (e4) Lots of talk this morning that the Predators and Flames are working on a deal that would send Hanifin to The Preds.

THis a good trade that is good for both teams to be 🤔

But who or what would the Preds send in return?

Heard Fabbro would be a big piece of it & a top prospect like Svechkov, Kemell personally I would take Wood & then I would imagine a protected (probably top 10 protected) 2024 1st for an extended Hanafin.

But read that Dixon (Sportsnet) has said Dallas has a keen interest in Hanafin. Would love to get Wyatt Johnson but I dont see how the cap would work this year with Dallas even if Flames retained on Hanafin. But it could trigger Trotz to upping his offer closer to Conroy's ask of a roster player, top prospect & a 1st round pick.
Could get interesting if Conroy can get any kind of bidding war.

Depending on what NSH wants to do with Saros in the next 5 years, Askarov is somebody I'm sure CGY would be really interested in...

I don't really see Calgary having any interest in Askarov. They have Markstrom for 3 more years at $6 million per, and then Dustin Wolf as the next starter being ready in a year or 2 (only 22 years old). Wolf is viewed as their future.

Except if they send McDonough the other way as a cap dump, can’t see them tying 22M$+ long-term on their left side.

But since Nahville has a plethora of picks and prospects, why not go after Lindholm as well? They could surely use another top line forward.

Ah, yeah, forgot about Wolf! Then I am at a loss as to the match here...perhaps a good place could be OTT, if they could find a way to make it work from the cap perspective.

That's a hell no on the Preds side.

Is Calgary expecting Kilington back? That would change some of this speculation.

Yes he's back in Calgary skating already and will be back.

Excellent news for Flames fans.

Hanifin could bring a lot of value to the Predators’ blue line with his solid two-way play and puck-moving abilities. He’s versatile and has experience in high-pressure situations, which could be a great asset to Nashville’s defensive dinosaur game core.
