Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman did has last Calgary radio hit of 2019 with Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Friday morning. He chatted with Dean Molberg and Will Nault about many things, but a lot of the discussion centered around the Calgary Flames’ reported interest in Taylor Hall prior to his trade to the Arizona Coyotes.
Were the Flames right in there with Arizona for Hall’s services? Well, yeah. Friedman detailed that the Flames’ package was more now-based than Arizona’s – from our perspective possibly a product of the Flames wanting some cap flexibility, and possibly due to them wanting to protect their future assets – while Arizona’s was obviously entirely futures-based with three prospects and two picks.
