Flames decided to hold onto Hanifin until the deadline and their leverage decreased and Hanifin's increased.

It has nothing to do with him wanting to re-sign. Agents don't usually call teams to say don't trade for my client. That's tampering.
Hanifin didn't want to move twice in one year, but he only had a 8 team no trade list so his agent did the dirty work for him.
