It appears he's ok.

Seems dumb for a 4-12 team to be using a pitcher to pinch run in April. Those are playoff decisions.

Is the catcher Diaz that much slower?

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season

VGK signs Hanifin to an 8-year extension. $7.35M AAV That's a pretty good contract for Vegas. The Flames keeping him with that contract would have just been the wrong move. They would have gone nowhere had they extended Hanifin (and the others). The Flames needed to start rebuilding, and thankfully...
