4. The Seattle Kraken could be open for business with the Calgary Flames

The Seattle Kraken were arguably the story of the 2022-23 NHL playoffs, as they managed to make it past the defending Stanley Cup Champions, before ultimately falling in seven games to the talented Dallas Stars, and now, they could be looking to go a step further next season. With a lack of depth behind Vince Dunn defensively, Hanifin could be the perfect fit in the Pacific North West, and with some solid prospects that could interest Calgary, the Kraken begin to make more and more sense.

While the Flames may not end up with Shane Wright in this deal, engaging with an asset rich Kraken team could give them plenty of leverage around the league, and if Seattle are serious about taking the next step, adding Hanifin would be a great move for both parties, especially if Calgary can land a big time asset or two.
