32 Thoughts: Flames restricting outgoing information regarding potential trades; Hanifin likely heading to a US Team; Tanev being eyed by Dallas, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, Colorado and others.

>The Flames Foundation raised $500,000 at its annual celebrity poker tournament on Tuesday night, as this maelstrom of deadline craziness continues. Tight cap situations across the league don’t help, as interested parties benefit salary-wise by waiting as long as possible to make their move. One thing that’s definitely happened: Calgary and the respective agents are trying to ease the noise by restricting information. Good for them, bad for us. **So there’s no official confirmation Noah Hanifin is going to the market,** ***but that’s where this is headed.***
>There’s been a lot of speculation about the Lightning — which, on paper, makes a lot of sense — but look at the trade the Flames made for Elias Lindholm. Can the Lightning put together a similar package, knowing there will be competition? It’s hard to see. Toronto made a pitch, and would want to know the possibility of signing him, but Hanifin appears headed for the US on a long-term basis. Teams want to know where he’s willing to sign.
Tanev:
>With Chris Tanev, the Flames continue to hold and see if a first-rounder (or something they consider comparable) becomes available. Dallas is very much into this, although some teams suspect they like Hanifin, too. Others: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver. Colorado’s been in and out, as have others.

Good to hear lots of teams are in on Tanev. If the competition is stiff enough, I think we could land a 1st round pick for him.

Dallas with Tanev would be a bit of a beast given their scoring depth and strength in goal.
Going to be an interesting deadline push.

I hate this shit.
Just please don’t send Tanev to Edmonton, for the love of God.

Can we stop sending half decent guys to competition? Thoughts?

On Hanifin (Emphasis mine):
