One thing though with Hanifin. The guy is making almost $5 million. Valimaki and Andersson are on entry level deals and you can expect growing pains, gaffes and sheltered minutes to some extent. This team needs Hanifin to be good and at some point, it can't totally be dependent on his partner IMO.
Wondering if we might start to see Andersson with some PP time?

I think Andersson should be on the powerplay as a fixture ... at very least second unit with two dmen to shake up the look for the first unit.
His one timers in Montreal were the only thing powerful about the powerplay
