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 has participated in 16 matches with Vegas since joining on March 6, amassing 2 goals and 9 points in that time frame. Presently in his ninth League season, he has accumulated 283 points (62 goals, 221 assists) across 675 games.
