I see where you're going with contract considerations, but I disagree.
If you're building a team, you build around the best players. (The one caveat being that Giordano is 35) That means Gaudreau #1 and probably Lindholm #2, though I would agree that Tkachuk would be in the conversation for #2, as would Monahan.
Suggesting Tkachuk and Hanifin are 1,2 is kind of ridiculous. And I am a huge Hanifin fan.
