So that's a 70 point, number one center with a wart that is in fact the reason he'd be moved.
So that means less doesn't it?
I like Hanifin, for sure, but if they want to adjust the roster up front he's one of the more valuable trade chips that seem to have a ready made replacement already in the wings.

If you move Monahan for a C with less points but more defence/physicality/skating you'd find out pretty quickly if he is just the garbageman some people claim.
I'll give Treliving credit on the Hamilton trade - he's not afraid of the possibility he might lose the trade in order to build the team he wants. So he traded Hamilton - a guy with big points and question marks, and Ferland, a guy who'd had a big year but who also had question marks, and Fox, a terrific prospect with a gigantic question mark, for guys with lesser track records (but big draft pedigrees).
