Hanifin with 23 points now. He could definitely hit 40.
The offense is a nice bonus but he his defensive play is even better. Dougie always made me nervous and took horrible penalties. Hanifin and Hamonic have been amazing together and having a strong second pairing has soldified the backend. Over the years the Flames have had some strong defences on paper but I cant think when the actual on ice play was this consistently good.
Lindholm has helped do the exact same thing to the offense.
This trade truly transformed the team.
