The NHL trade deadline is heating up, and one name that keeps popping up is Calgary Flames defenseman Noah Hanifin. During the NHL Tonight segment on the NHL Network, insiders revealed that the New Jersey Devils are seriously considering making a play for the blueliner.
With the Flames hovering around the playoff bubble, but unlikely to make a serious run, the front office has decided to pivot to seller mode. This shift opens the door for a potential Hanifin trade. The Devils, a team in full-on win-now mode, are reportedly prepared to offer a significant package that could be tough for Calgary to refuse.
The Rumored Noah Hanifin Deal
Here’s the potential trade package the Devils might offer:
- Kevin Bahl: A young defenseman with size and physicality.
- Chase Stillman: A highly-ranked Devils prospect with a bright future.
- 2024 1st Round Pick: Valuable trade asset in a strong draft year.
- 2025 2nd Round Pick Further sweetening the pot.
Noah Hanifin has made it known that the Devils are a team he’d be open to re-signing with long-term, making this an excellent fit for both sides. He brings offensive upside and stability to a Devils team that could use a boost on their backline for a playoff run.
