I’m going to repeat this because it’s crazy to me and I think it could be a factor....this is the first time in Noah Hanifin’s career that he opens a season without Bill Peters as his head coach.

I also really think the Flames acquired Tanev with the hope that he would open things up for Hanifin like it did for Hughes in Vancouver.

Hughes and Hanifin had very similar results in the US Development program and NCAA but he’s never had that freedom to be an offensive dman at the NHL level .
