Over the past week, reports have come out from the national level heavy hitters like Elliotte Friedman and Pierre LeBrun that Calgary defender Noah Hanifin is the latest Flames impending free agent (in 2024) that doesn’t wish to sign an extension there. New Flames GM Craig Conroy has made it be known that it is a priority to trade his top free-agents-to-be if they can’t come to a contract agreement to extend.
Thus, Hanifin will likely be traded in the future, possibly very near future with the busiest part of NHL’s off-season period about to begin next week starting with the draft.
