The Flames, struggling through another disappointing season, seem poised for changes. After trading star forward Elias Lindholm to the Vancouver Canucks, defenseman Hanifin appears to be the next player on the move.
Recent reports suggest that Hanifin has his sights set on a new destination. With his contract expiring, a trade seems inevitable, and Hanifin's strong performance this season has drawn interest from several teams. However, one team stands out as his preferred landing spot.
Whether or not Hanifin is traded before the deadline remains to be seen. If a deal materializes, expect the Lightning to be heavily involved in the process. With less than a month until the deadline, fans can anticipate more rumors and reports as the situation unfolds.
