Getting a goalie

tbh it seems to me that the Flames want players 23-27 who can play in the lineup now so I know Bahl can but I'm not so sure they accept. I'm not too familiar on his game tho. Maybe I'm a bit delusional lol. Like I know Mercer is probably untouchable but he's the exact type of player they are looking for. I'm not saying "oh that should be the trade". But that's kinda the type of guy they are looking at.

I am not a Devils fan, quite the opposite, but their game yesterday was pathetic... They need HELP.
The Hanafin trade was based off of the Tarasenko trade the Rangers did last season.
Middle/Bottom pair player...
B tier prospect
1st
3rd

That's fair. I'd like to know a bit more about Bahl before I say oh yeah Flames accept but that's more of a me issue. Hanafin is a top 4 guy, I wouldn't say bottom pair.

I’d prefer less to NSH and no retention…our cap situation should be okay for this year and next. It’s 2025-26 when Luke gets his raise where things may get tight. So maybe without Lenni or 1st.

Bahl is big fella, 6’6” 240 lbs or so. Is good defensively, can break things up in d-zone. Long reach, quick with stick. Mobility, for his size, is pretty good, not a weakness, but is not leading rushes very often. Shot from point is hard…and can get in net…but it’s not a quick release. Guys can step in front of it. Physicality is inconsistent…occasionally will run over guys…often big guys too…but doesn’t seem to have developed the ‘beast-on-demand’ yet where he can dial it up depending on game situation. Although that is improving. His weakness is his puck movement…have seen too many passes in the skates this year. He has some good stretches, like end of last season, and in parts this year, where he has found more of a rhythm. If he works that out, he could be middle pair defensive option. Right now, he is more of a 3rd pair guy.
