So Fla went out and patched their d up. Short term, they are fine and don’t need hanifin immediately. Which weakens Conroys negotiations with Florida.
If not LW, we are looking for C RW or D in return for Hanifin. I can’t see any circumstance in which lundell is exchanged for Hanifin, which is probably our target. nor does Florida want to bust up a Stanley cup championship team. So we need to look away from Florida.
From what I can see, Seattle doesn’t have anything of interest for us that isn’t future related, and I’m guessing this will be a win now/hockey trade based on what we’ve seen. Why Carolina would trade anything of significance for Hanifin when they are looking to deal Pesce for the same reason is beyond me. And if Toronto is out, what are we left with?
I think Boston would do a deal for Hanifin. He’s been on sweeney’s radar for some time.
Dallas probably interested but can’t see anything there for us that would provide immediate help.
Don’t know why LA isn’t being mentioned more. Their d is less than stellar and they have some decent pieces that might interest us.
Washington seems like a team that wants to do something and their d isn’t particularly strong. Have some pieces that could interest us.
nyi was flogging pageau and wahlstrom for debrincat. They might have interest in upgrading their d. Pageau doesn’t fit what we are looking for and has a ntc so he probably won’t come.
