I've wanted Hanifin traded for a long time. Thought the perfect time to move him was after our "big season" losing to the Oilers because he had term and a solid season of stats.
I just cant stand his panic decisions when pressure is on in the playoffs. Weve seen it every year we make the post season. Hard to overlook this problem. He drives me crazy.
That said I think this has been his best season as a Flame. I have not caught myself muttering about "stupid forking Hanifin" quite as much this year.
So my stance on shipping him out has softened a bit. I still want him traded but if Conroy gives him a decent contract I wont be pulling my hair out...as long as said contract does not come with a no movement clause. If you want to sign him again you have to be able to move him if you choose. A 10 team no trade clause seems acceptable to me.
Still rather see him traded.
In Conroy I trust.
