[Rumour] Lebrun: Flames prepared to have Hanifin at training camp with low trade offers so Far

I think the league likes “leaks” like this because it gets fans talking.

Has a team ever traded a player right after drafting them? I cannot think of one.

You know exactly what this roster will look like for next season and the next few years? Do tell how.

Nah, it also wouldn't make sense for the other team. They'd want the pick so they can choose who they like

[Strange Brew]

Really hope we see at least one more trade for the Flames before the draft is over and GM's go home.

Just don't want to see too much business left to be done the rest of the year.

Wade Redden for Brian Berrard. (Not a great example)

I would think it has happened, but certainly not too often.

Free agency is more likely at this point

Looking at CapFriendly, wow Pittsburgh really does not have anything of interest under the age of 30 on their roster. I don't know the extent of their prospect cupboard but I can't imagine it's very much to look at. If they wanted Hanifin so bad they should have given up their 1st yesterday, I'm sure we have better offers elsewhere now.

Yager and a 1st is about it

Latest from Lebrun

• Several teams, including Florida and Boston, have shown interest in Noah Hanifin, but the Flames have not been presented with anything close to what they believe is fair value. My understanding of the situation, as of Thursday, is that first-time GM Craig Conroy has let teams know that he’s not going to sell low on Hanifin — that he will be patient and wants to see a proper trade play out. If that acceptable trade doesn’t pan out this summer, then so be it. The Flames are prepared to have Hanifin come back to training camp still part of the team.

The opening of free agency Saturday could help move things along as far as other teams who have interest in Hanifin. Perhaps they take a swing at UFA Dmitry Orlov, strike out and then circle back with more serious trade offers. That’s a distinct possibility. But whatever the case, Conroy is prepared to be patient.

Serious trade offers?

What kind of offers are they getting? Are gms dumb thinking you can get top players for pennies?

[ResAlien]

Hopeful we don’t end up in another Cammalleri situation.

[Badgers Nose]

I like how Connie is handling this.

These guys have contracts, he can trade them any time this off season and season. We continue to get value from them on great contracts.

I'd like to trade them as much as anyone - but now that the draft is done, pressure is off IMO. Other teams blew it if they wanted him so bad.

[getoverit]

The good news is Hanifan and Lindy are in contract years so typically we see better production, question is come trade deadline if in the hunt we can pull the trigger

I think they really are.

At least these US based GMs who think this exodus is some kind of garage sale where everything must go asap.

No better than lowballing fb marketplace scum.

I bet Zito's offer is insulting.

The more I think about it, the better it is to wait. Everyone thought Buffalo and Colorado were waiting too long to trade Eichel and Duchene, respectively… and they ended up getting really good returns on them. Wait for the right offer.

Wait until is dawns on these clubs that there are very few other avenues for them to take to improve their team at those positions.

Them we'll see some real offers.

Sorry, I missed that, what was his offer? Thanks in advance.

[Party Elephant]

Yeah the UFA market for denfensemen this year is garbage

[Bonded]

Once it became clear no first round picks were moving I figured it could be a wait
