I'd rather lock Hanifin up now for 7 years at around $5 million AAV because I think it'd likely be a huge bargain for the last 4 or 5 years of the deal, but a 3 year bridge wouldn't be a terrible idea at all. 3 year bridge takes him to 24, then an 8 year extension has him a Flame for every last one of his prime years which would be great if he lives up to his potential.
