^ it is a worthwhile risk though. IF you bridge him for two years and he becomes a top pairing dman all of a sudden he costs you 7+ Million in year three. Look at when Montreal gave Subban a bridge deal. It cost them way more in the long run.
Hanfin is now the 54th highest paid dman in the league. That means that even if tops out as a second pairing guy it is not far what those guys make.
