Flames Mailbag: What would the haul for Hanifin, Tanev or Markstrom look like?
While Calgary received five pieces for Lindholm, it was the core three that truly mattered: a first-round pick, a top prospect (Hunter Brzustewicz), and a roster player capable of stepping in right away (Andrei Kuzmenko). Those three elements are what the Flames will be looking for in return for Hanifin.
It’s a fair target, too. 27-year-old Hanifin is averaging 23:40 of ice time per game and excelling in all situations. And, with nine goals already, Hanifin is a pair away from setting a new single season career high with plenty of time left. With how his all-around game has taken another step this year, Hanifin will make any team instantly better if acquired.
Friedman on Flames defender Chris Tanev: ‘There’s a lot swirling around this guy right now’
Reportedly, the Flames’ asking price for Tanev’s services is a second-round pick (and perhaps a bit more). As the season wears on, teams will continue to suffer injuries – Tampa Bay recently lost Mikhail Sergachev to a broken leg, for example – and that probably drives Tanev’s price up.
