Some Friday news from well renowned hockey insider Elliotte Friedman, who spoke on about the Leafs on his 32 Thoughts: The Podcast. He spoke about various topics, but one that stood out was talks about Calgary Flames stud defenseman Noah Hanifin and where he may end up by the trade deadline.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been looking to Calgary for multiple defensemen out West and Hanifin is one of those players. It doesn't look like Hanifin wants to continue playing in Canada or sign another extension here up north, unfortunately, which would likely remove the Leafs from contention outright, leaving them to turn their attention elsewhere.
