"NHL Trade Rumors: Capitals Eyeing Noah Hanifin, Top Targets Revealed"

The Washington Capitals have shown interest in acquiring Calgary Flames defenseman Noah Hanifin as the Flames continue to sell off key roster pieces. Hanifin, a left-handed blueliner, is in the prime of his career and would likely require a contract extension as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The price to acquire him is expected to be high, potentially including a first-round pick, top prospect, and roster player. Hanifin's addition would bolster the Capitals' left side defense and could form a strong core with their current defensive lineup.
