The exodus continues.
Elliotte Friedman confirmed on Saturday night during his originally titled Saturday Headlines segment that defenceman Noah Hanifin will be hitting the unrestricted free agency market.
Lack of paragraphs warning. The man almost did it in one breath.
“So every week I say I’m not going to talk about the Flames, Ron. It’s too much. I think it’s too much for the organization and the players to be perfectly honest, but it’s very difficult to avoid it because I think a lot of teams are waiting on Calgary, even though they’ve made two trades already, for the other two or three they could possibly make. Now the team isn’t commenting, the agent isn’t commenting, but it’s pretty clear from just everything we’ve learned today that Noah Hanifin is going to the market, and I think there are Canadian teams interested in him, but I think long-term the US teams are more confident that they are going to the ones able to sign him. But it’s very clear to me without any confirmation from the team or agent that Noah Hanifin is going to market, and the action has picked up around them.”
The only question that remains is his ultimate destination. Fast times in Calgary.
