It sounded like a bridge deal may not be in the offing but something a little longer. That would put the cost up, probably past $4M

Definitely beyond $4M, how much though? I guess we'll see.
I feel like we're undervaluing Hanifin in conversation on CP here.
Hanifin may not be a direct comparable to Dougie at the time we acquired Dougie, but he's very close to being a direct comparable.
3 Years ago we signed Dougie to a 6 year, 5.75M per contract with the final two years carrying a modified NTC. Look at that deal, and add in cap-inflation and see what a player of Dougie's value would be signed to today.
Dougie at 5.75M in a 71.4M Cap tied up 8.05% of the cap.
8.05% of today's cap (79.5M) is 6.4M.
Hanifin isn't worth exactly what Dougie was worth in 15/16 because he hasn't proven quite as much, but I don't think we're talking about Hanifin being worth 35% less than Hamilton was in my eyes. If we're going long-term with Hanifin, you have to think it's somewhere between 4.75M and 5.5M per, and it'd be totally reasonable to see those numbers in my opinion.
