Young players with star potential are rarely bridged anymore for good reason.
A bridge deal for Hanifin would be a dumb move for sure.

2 x 3.5m-4.0m followed by 7-8 x 7.0m-9.0m

or 7x 5ish m right now.

Granted these numbers are just guesses but I have visions of Subban every time someone proposes bridging Hanifin. Just a bad way to go unless Flames management doesn't have faith he will improve. And if that is the case, why bother trading for him in the first place?
