I believe the deal with the Flames at the start of the year was 7.25Mx8 but Noah has gone on to have a very strong season with a career high in goals and 5pts away from a career high in points.
Good deal for Noah and it is always nice as a team if you give up a 1st rounder that you get a guy who will be around for the long haul.
I have little doubt had the Flames kept Johnny and Chucky that Hanifin would have stayed. Clearly going to the East US was not the top priority but he is in a great market with a great tax situation.
