I think the Flames could make a hockey trade involving Hanifin if they continue to be extremely impressed by Valimaki’s game in Finland. I don’t think there is really any chance Gaudreau moves out. It only really made sense to me if Hall joined the team.
In terms of free agency I doubt we see a player signed for more than $2M (except Mangipane).
I am disappointed in not getting Hall and not overly pleased with the Tanev deal but I am immensely pleased with the Markstrom signing. Obviously this offseason is incomplete but I am really happy we got a top 3/4 free agent and filled a huge need.
