RWJC Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Flames, Noah Hanifin Making Progress On Extension October 21st, 2023 at 8:32pm CST • By Josh Erickson Speaking during the Saturday Headlines segment during Sportsnet’s Hockey Night in Canada coverage, Elliotte Friedman reports things are trending in a positive direction between the Flames and defenseman Noah Hanifin, and an extension for the pending UFA defenseman is a realistic outcome. This is a continuation of a lengthy positive swing in relations between the Flames’ front office and their slate of pending UFAs. It began with captain Mikael Backlund, who inked a pre-season extension (and was awarded the captaincy) despite previously stating he’d wait out to see how the team began their season before deciding whether or not to extend. The fact these talks are even occurring is another significant sign for the better. Hanifin reportedly made it known to GM Craig Conroy this summer that he wasn’t open to signing an extension with the team, but he reversed course once players reported to training camps in September. Hanifin has gotten off to a strong start on the scoresheet, leading all Flames defenders in assists (and points) with four. He’s logged 22:49 per game, a touch higher than last season’s 22:39, which was already a career-high. His pairing with the now-suspended Rasmus Andersson has had the most defensive struggles out of all the Flames’ main units, however, controlling just 40% of expected goals at even strength, per MoneyPuck. link to rest of article: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2023/10/flames-noah-hanifin-making-progress-on-extension.html#ref=home Edited October 22, 2023 by RWJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Not sure why he'd want to stay when he can see the tire-fire in front of him and no real way out. They're only going to get worse with those ageing contracts. Now's the perfect time to jump ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
