  • Hanafin, Guentzel, Markstrom - Snagging the NHL's Biggest Fish!
    Mar 2 2024
    In Episode 76 of the Habs Culture podcast, we're diving deep into the swirling trade deadline rumors and the potential seismic shifts they could bring to the NHL landscape. The spotlight shines brightly on Noah Hanifin, Jake Guentzel, and Jacob Markstrom, three of the biggest names still swirling in the trade rumor mill as the deadline approaches. Noah Hanifin, currently with the Calgary Flames, is at a crossroads. Despite an impressive season and a significant role within the team, contract negotiations have stalled. The Flames have reportedly offered an eight-year extension, but Hanifin's hesitation has fueled speculation that he might be on the move. His potential departure would undoubtedly command a high return, possibly involving first-round picks or top prospects, particularly from teams in dire need of defensive reinforcement​​. Jake Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins is another intriguing case. As a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and the team's second-leading scorer, his situation is complex. Guentzel's current injury and Pittsburgh's need to get younger add layers of intrigue to any potential trade discussions. The Penguins are faced with the challenge of balancing their immediate competitive desires with the long-term need for rejuvenation, making Guentzel a highly watched figure as the deadline looms​​. Jacob Markstrom, the stalwart goaltender for the Calgary Flames, finds his name in trade rumors despite being under contract for two more seasons. With a $6 million average annual value, his situation is complicated by negotiations over salary retention and the acquisition cost. The New Jersey Devils have shown interest, highlighting the demand for reliable goaltenders as teams shore up their rosters for playoff pushes and beyond. Markstrom's future, be it in Calgary or elsewhere, is a significant storyline to watch, reflecting the broader goalie market's dynamics and the strategic considerations teams must weigh Learn more about your ad choices.
