There are reports that the Calgary Flames and the Nashville Predators are working out a trade surrounding Noah Hanifin.

Nashville Looking To Add Hanifin?

Today, Eklund of HockeyBuzz.com dropped some major news regarding Noah Hanifin and the Nashville Predators.

Lots of talk this morning that the Predators and Flames are working on a deal that would send Hanifin to The Preds.

A Hanifin trade would be massive as Hanifin is a top four defenseman in his prime and the cost for him would be massive.

Potential Trade

While the details of the trade discussions are currently unknown, we could see something like this:

MOCK TRADE

Nashville Receives
- Noah Hanifin

Calgary Receives
- Dante Fabbro
- 2025 1st (top 10 protected)
- Zachary L'Heureux

This trade would give the Flames a former 1st round pick in L'Heureux, a future 1st round pick, and an immediate replacement for Hanifin in Fabbro. The Predators would get their top defenseman and would be able to use him on a playoff run.
