Interesting, thanks.
If the Flames believe Valimaki will be able to step in as a top 4 guy right away, and that Mackey will be able to play NHL minutes pretty quickly as well, then it certainly makes sense that they are willing to move Hanifin.
I cannot get past the notion of signing Pietroangelo and then trading Hanifin for futures. To get an elite #1 RHD and then bolster the draft pick and prospect cupboards while at the same time filling out the left side of the NHL D with two guys on ELC's would be such a massive win for this franchise it's not even funny.
Too bad it's very unlikely to actually happen.
Giordano - Pietro
Valimaki - Andersson
Mackey - Kylington/Yelesin/Cheap UFA
