While discussing an extension with the 29-year-old, the team has asked for his "trade list," Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman notes.
Hanzal still remains under contract with the club through the 2016-17 campaign at a cap hit of $3.1 million, and will become an unrestricted free agent thereafter.
"It sounds like Arizona would like to add at least one defenseman, maybe two," writes Friedman. "But, if Hanzal fetches one, they will also be looking to replace him down the middle."
Despite being limited to just 64 games this season, Hanzal set a career high with 41 points.
According to Friedman, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen and Hartnell's agent Matt Oates didn't comment on the report, but sources say that the list of teams provided by Hartnell is "decent-sized".
Hartnell is coming off his second season with Blue Jackets and saw an 11-point decline this campaign, collecting 23 goals and 49 points while under the guidance of Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella.
The Detroit Red Wings' meeting with Pavel Datsyuk - where his decision regarding his playing career will be discussed - has been postponed.
Datsyuk, his agent Dan Milsten, and general manger Ken Holland had originally planned to meet on Wednesday, but will now convene next week so the three men can all attend the funeral of Gordie Howe on Wednesday, Milsten told Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
The 37-year-old is expected to sign in the KHL next season and has already received an offer from SKA St. Petersburg.
However, Datsyuk's party has assured that no decision will be made until a meeting is had with Red Wings representatives.
Datsyuk still has one year remaining on his contract with the Red Wings at a cap hit of $7.5 million, a contract Holland has reportedly already begun shopping.
On Friday the hockey world said goodbye to Gordie Howe, the only man to ever appropriately don the ultimate nickname that encompasses everything the rugged and finesse game is about.
But while he last took to the ice as a member of the NHL in 1980, his impact can still be seen on it nightly.
The players of today's NHL who take to the ice with the same unmatched skill, physicality, and dominance that Howe once delivered to his opponents every time he touched the ice, are a testament to how No. 9 played the game.
Here are five current players that have continued to emulate arguably hockey's greatest.
While Perry has been one of the most electric goal scorers in the game over the last handful of seasons - with 212 goals since the 2010-11 season and having only failed to hit the 30-goal plateau during the lockout-shortened 2013 season - his dirty side has also been prevalent.
Just ask Finnish prospect Patrik Laine, who encountered as much at this year's World Championship.
Jonathan Toews
As Howe was during his time, Jonathan Toews has been referred to by many as the best all-around player in the world.
While Toews' offensive production is marginally less on the scale set by Howe - with no scoring titles to his belt - his leadership and incredible well-rounded game make him a star in every sense of the word.
Captain Serious is not afraid to go into the corners, drop the gloves, and earn every inch of the ice, but he also boasts silky soft hands capable of fooling defenders and beating goaltenders, a true Howe trait.
While Burns has become a finesse player with a sly skating ability and wicked shot, he might most emulate Howe in how he takes care of his body.
While he clearly takes care of his flowing beard, the 31-year-old can also always been seen donning a military-style backpack prior to games. A pack that holds protein, tea, and a blender among other oddities.
Of course Burns is also the last player to achieve the infamous "Gordie Howe Hat trick".
Alex Ovechkin
As far as offensive accolades go, no one on the list rivals Howe quite as closely as Alex Ovechkin does.
Ovechkin has three Hart Trophies to his name - still only half as many as Howe - and with 525 career goals, it would seem that staying healthy is all Ovechkin needs to do to one day amass Howe's mark of 801.
Goal scoring aside, few players play with the intensity, passion, and will to win that Ovechkin does nightly. The Washington Capitals captain not only leads on the scoreboard, but is not afraid to lay the body out in order to create room for himself and his teammates, or just simply to ware down the opposition.
Not only does he have the hands and scoring touch to finish first and second in league scoring the past two seasons respectively, he has the size and brute strength to impose his will on the ice.
Like Howe, Benn also remains humble off the ice, but with 64 penalty minutes in three-straight seasons, it's no question he is a warrior and can beat the opposition on the scoreboard or in the alley.
The club signed the forward to a one-year deal, with the 23-year-old set to become a restricted free agent on July 1.
Andrighetto enjoyed his longest tenure with the Canadiens this season, after being drafted by the team in the third round in 2013. He played a career-high 44 games, chipping in with seven goals and 17 points.
He also contributed 10 goals and 23 points in 26 points with the St. John's IceCaps of the American Hockey League.
Both forwards will become restricted free agents this summer and each appear to have swayed general manager Dave Poile into considering long-term deals for the pair.
"I think with Filip and Jarnkrok, if the figures were right, we'd be very excited to enter into longer-term contracts with them," Poile said, according to Adam Vingan of the Tenessean. "It's all about the fit for each and every player, and if we can get that right fit for them and for us, I think multiyear contracts would be great."
Agent J.P. Barry - who represents Forsberg - admits that both sides have been in constant communication and are in the stage of hammering out a respected term.
"There's a range of contracts out there for players this age," Barry said. "The longer-term ones, there's several at the five-, six-year mark and there's only a couple that go as far as eight, so we're trying to pinpoint the range that's the most comfortable to both of us."
After leading the club in scoring the last two seasons, Barry admits to using fellow players who have had stellar seasons coming out of their entry-level contracts as a jumping off point for Forsberg's next contract.
Both Forsberg and Jarnkrok enjoyed career-years this season. Forsberg hit highs with 33 goals and 64 points, while Jarnkrok did the same collecting 16 goals and 30 points.
For a pit stop in Gordie Howe's home province of Saskatchewan, country star Garth Brooks paid homage to Mr. Hockey, wearing his No. 9 sweater with the Detroit Red Wings on stage at Sasktel Center.
The Panthers have acquired forwards Paul Thompson and Graham Black from the Devils in exchange for Florida's 2018 second-round pick and center Marc Savard.
The 38-year-old center has not played since the 2010-11 season due to a series of major concussions, but his contract remains on the books, meaning the Devils are now on the hook for the $4,027,143 cap hit next season.
The Panthers now have over $20 million in available cap space (according to general fanager), while the Devils now have an extra draft pick in the arsenal.
The tributes continue to pour in for the late Gordie Howe, who passed away Friday at age 88.
The latest words were penned by the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada, both of whom lauded Mr. Hockey as truly a man to remember.
On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Gordie Howe, who passed away today at the age of 88.
Gordie Howe was an incredible athlete who relentlessly pushed the limits of the game. His skill, toughness, dedication, and passion for hockey distinguished him as one of the greatest players in history.
Throughout his five-decade long career, Gordie Howe won six Hart Trophies as the National Hockey League’s most valuable player, six Art Ross Trophies as the league’s leading scorer, and four Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings.
Gordie Howe was awarded the Order of Canada in 1971, and was inducted into 11 different halls of fame. His records, accomplishments, and accolades are without parallel in the history of hockey. He was truly one of a kind.
We will remember the legend, the man, and the many exciting hockey moments he provided to fans throughout his career.
Skate on, Mr. Hockey. You will be deeply missed.
Howe was born in Floral, Saskatchewan, while the entirety of his professional hockey career was played in the United States.
