The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reported Friday that the Calgary Flames’ Noah Hanifin is unlikely to extend with the team. Despite having Travis Sanheim and Cam York on the roster, the Flyers should still consider making a move for the defenseman.
The Calgary Flames are in a bit of a pickle when it comes to cap space and roster construction, and it seems that their failures are starting to catch up to them. Just one year removed from the Matthew Tkachuk trade that brought Jonathan Huberdeau and Mackenzie Weegar to Calgary, the Flames missed the playoffs entirely and now have a brand new head coach and general manager.
