Hanifin for Nylander would be a horrible, horrible trade.
First, it would decimate our defensive core.
Second, it would be giving away a guy whose legitimate ceiling is a #1 D. And Giordano won't be that forever.
Third, the Flames are already small and soft up front.
Last year, the team was imbalanced with too much focus on the D. They have corrected that this summer. This trade would leave them imbalanced with too much focus on small, scoring wingers.
The team would be far worse off.
