Flames Joel Fricken Hanley

Hanley has been a very nice waiver find by Calgary. He does great work as the 5th D. Just playing a simple, steady game every night, limiting chances against. Even knowing that, I was surprised by how good his analytics look.

Expected goals %:
Hanley - Parekh 70.5%
Haney - Pachal 64.8%
Hanley - Bean 56.1%
Hanley - Weegar 54.3%
Hanley - Brzustewicz 53.2%
All in all, I really like the Hanely pairing as a stepping stone for the Flames rookies on RD, as they transition into a top 4 role in the NHL. The great numbers definitely have something to do with Huska putting the 3rd pairing in a position to succeed, but Hanley deserves a ton of credit as well. IMO, the great yet quiet work Hanley does could even make him into a legitimate trade target for a team looking for depth at the trade deadline.

Really good player. Found money as a waiver claim. Glad he's a Flame and hopefully he can return a pick at some point in the next year or so.

Super steady. Kind of like an Olineman. If you don’t hear his name he’s doing his job. Every team needs those players. Not everyone has to be doing pirouettes.

I concur, he's been 'found money.' Good, solid, steady Dman.

Haven't watched a lot of games lately. Interesting to see his underlining numbers.

Will pay attention to him in the next two.

2 out of 3 aint bad!

Bahl,Hanley, Miromanov.

Looks like out of the three acquisitions( the grusher is a prospect) one is a middle pairing guy one a bottom pairing. With Bru looking like an nhl’r and Kuz establishing himself i am less concerned with our defence than i was even a few months ago.

Yeah, I always see the Hanley hate, but his numbers are good and he's always pretty steady. Frankly people are too hard on both him and Bean.

Lately is since, like, late October.

They've been about .500 in that time. So I've missed about as many wins as I've missed losses. It's been treated all the same.
