Hanley put pen to paper on a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Calgary on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley isn't exactly an offensive dynamo, considering he managed just two goals and seven helpers in 53 regular-season appearances last year. Still, the veteran blueliner should fill a bottom-pairing role as a shutdown defenseman. Hanley doesn't offer enough in terms of PIM or hits to give him much in the way of fantasy value outside the deepest of formats.

Hanley is slated to miss Thursday's regular-season finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley made 53 appearances during his first full season with the Flames this year, recording two goals, seven assists, 90 blocked shots, 55 hits and 21 PIM while averaging 18:35 of ice time. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Hanley notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has three points over his last three contests. Oddly, he hasn't blocked a shot in that span, despite his primarily defensive role. He's up to a career-high nine points and also reached the 50-game mark for the first time with his appearance Wednesday. He's added 39 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 54 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-10 rating while seeing top-four minutes with the Flames this season.

Hanley scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has just three points over 18 games since the start of March. His tally Saturday ended a stretch of 19 contests without a goal and seven outings without a point. The 33-year-old blueliner has stepped up in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman, giving MacKenzie Weegar a bit more freedom on offense. Hanley is at two goals, seven points, 39 shots on net, 54 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating across 48 appearances in 2024-25. He needs one more point to match his career high from a 35-game sample in 2020-21.

Hanley logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on a third-period tally by Connor Zary. The 33-year-old Hanley has quietly taken on a top-four role coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break. His offense is limited -- he has just three points over his last 13 games -- but he provides a steady layer of defense on a pairing with MacKenzie Weegar. Hanley is up to six points, 29 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-7 rating over 40 outings in 2024-25.

Hanley fired one shot on goal and delivered three hits in 18:07 of ice time during Monday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has been playing as a complement to MacKenzie Weegar on Calgary's top defensive pair, but the offensive production has not been there. The 33-year-old has just one goal and four assists on the season. It's hard to expect too much more -- Hanley has never had more than two goals or eight points in any season of his NHL career.

Hanley scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley's tally in the third period put the Flames ahead for good. It was his first goal of the campaign and his first career game-winner. The 33-year-old defenseman has carved out a fairly regular role lately, but he could be at risk of losing playing time to Kevin Bahl (illness) in the near future. Hanley has four points, 22 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-4 rating across 28 appearances in 2024-25.

Hanley (personal) will be available for Sunday's matchup versus San Jose, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley missed Calgary's 3-2 overtime loss to Seattle on Feb. 8 because of the birth of his child. He participated in Saturday's practice after taking part in on-ice sessions with the Flames on Tuesday and Thursday. Hanley has three assists, 19 shots on goal, 45 blocked shots and 24 hits in 27 appearances this season.

Hanley (personal) will miss Saturday's game against Seattle to be with his wife for the birth of their child, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley has three assists, 24 hits and 45 blocked shots across 27 games this season. He will probably return to the lineup against San Jose on Feb. 23 after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Ilya Solovyov will enter the lineup to replace Hanley on Saturday.

Hanley logged an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Hanley snapped a seven-game point drought. Coincidentally, his last contribution also came against the Ducks in a two-assist effort Jan. 7. The 33-year-old blueliner is filling in as a top-four option while Kevin Bahl (upper body) is on the shelf. Hanley won't be much of a factor in fantasy -- he has just three assists with 18 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating over 23 appearances.
