TTDL

Don't see Calgary having any interest in that deal.
Detroit should sell at the deadline and this would be fine, they may decide to keep their players though.

Canes pass on the Flames trade. It’s funny that you seem to think that Hanifin wouldn’t being playing 3LD if it went through anyway.

Not even close to getting Noah Hanifin out of Calgary.

And Detroit is only currently 3 points shy of Carolina and in the 2nd wild card spot. Detroit is a long ways from being sellers.

Detroit should sell, We're in the 2nd wild card spot by at least 7 points. Saying we should sell is very premature.

The 4 teams that likely compete all have games in hand. We are the 11th worst team for goals against and penalty kill. Not to mention the bottom half or near the bottom in alot of other statistics. That PK is extra worrisome since we are the 9th most penalized team in the league. The only thing saving us is we draw the most penalties in the league and our 12th ranked powerplay gets many chances. One thing I consider important is we are ranked 29th for scoring chance %, which means we are giving up alot and just riding our goalie.

I wouldn't say it's premature, I would say this team is playing above where they should be and are getting a bit lucky.
