Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy clarified Wednesday that while Noah Hanifin was not interested in signing an extension this summer, the door is not closed on the defenceman staying with the team long-term.
Hanifin is set to play out of the last of a six-year, $29.7 million contract signed with the Flames in 2018. The deal carries a cap hit of $4.95 million.
Hanifin echoed Conroy's statements a short time later. He stated he will play out the season on his current deal, but is open to extension afterwards. He told management that he needs time to digest the team's disappointment from last season. Speculation has surrounded Hanifin and other key members of the Flames entering contract years, including Elias Lindholm and Mikael Backlund, but Calgary has only made one trade this off-season – sending winger Tyler Toffoli to the New Jersey Devils.
Dare I say but it seemed Elias Lindholm sounded more open and optimistic about a future in Calgary today than he did a few months ago at the season ending media conferencesThe Flames focused the majority of their changes off the ice this summer, having mutually parted ways with general manager Brad Treliving and firing head coach Darryl Sutter and replacing them with in-house candidates in Conroy and head coach Ryan Huska.
