- believes the Leafs are still very interested in acquiring Tanev by the deadline.
- believes the Flames want to keep Hanifin and have made this clear to him, but Hanifin needs to make a decision. Many teams are interested.
- no doubt that teams have asked about Markstrom. However, these teams will need to make the Flames want the trade to happen for them to even approach Markstrom.

- Canucks won't have another chance to circle back for Tanev. He won't be available in the summer for them to sign. Guaranteed if TO or another team picks him up. Tanev market value is great right now. Get it done!
- Hanifin for more higher grade picks - yes please!
- Markstrom - for high end picks plus salary retention - sure and get that done ASAP. No use in keeping Markstrom for a rebuild process, especially with Wolf looking to see more action with Vladar. This pairing makes more sense than with Markstrom/Wolf pairing.
