Hanifin is a wizard at entries and exits and doesn't appear to give up as much as Hamilton on the rush, but pales when compared in shot generation and suppression though Hanifin looks pretty good from a defensive standpoint as well.

To oversimplify - basically two guys who are good at completely different things and therefore it is possibly a mistake to try and say "which one is better" (not that you are trying to do that).
This actually advances my view quite a bit. In some ways, I think the Flames need the things Hanifin is good at more than the things Hamilton was good at. Particularly the zone exits.
