			The Flames would have to grant permission for those negotiations to take place.  It's hard to imagine that permission wouldn't be granted if a deal in principle wasn't already set up and the extension was the last piece of the puzzle.

Maybe BriseBois just had lunch with Hanifin's agent. They might have had some breadsticks.

This is still my guess.
I still think Florida is his first choice, Tampa Bay is his second choice, and all these "Tampa Leaks" are trying to bring Florida into the fray.

They might have to do more than raise their price. They are going to have to convince hanifin to sign an extension . If hanifin truly wants to be in Tampa then he only has to say he won’t sign extension with anyone.

			Florida is probably his first choice and Tampa is there to drive up the price. I just can't see a scenario that Lundell would be involved. Would love to have a Finn on the Flames though, it's been too long.
