Hanifin’s TOI was less than Hamilton’s at the same point which I think is also relevant. I just don’t see why he would command the same ( % of cap) as Hamilton at the same point in his career. The kid has a ton of potential but with Hamilton’s physical gifts he was further ahead IMO.
Unrelated, but it might be healthy for fans to keep expectations in check for the young man. I don’t watch much Hurricanes’ hockey but I’m expecting a young defenseman who still makes a decent amount of mistakes.
