Noah Hanifin has reached a new deal with the Vegas Golden Knights, securing his presence on the team for the next eight years. The contract is valued at nearly $60 million.
After picking up defenceman Noah Hanifin from the Calgary Flames at the trade deadline for Daniil Miromanov, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional third-round draft pick, GM Kelly McCrimmon wasted no time in signing the 27 year old to a deal worth $7.35 million per season for the next eight years.
Hanifin is essentially a 9-years-younger upgrade over UFA Alec Martinez. I like the fit. Interested what ripples there are for the rest of the roster this summer.
Interested in what Tampa does now with its D.
This was already a slam-dunk trade win for VGK. Even more so now.
