Well you can define core player however you want but that doesn't match my definition. A young 22 year old dman who is going to be top 4 for years and years is definitely a core player.
How much did Gio develop after age 22? How about Brodie? Anyone who thinks Hanifin is what he is doesn't understand typical player development. Hanifin has tons of room to grow and all the attributes you want.

Sometimes it's best to get the perspective of people who don't have a vested interest. LOL all you want, but you are one of the biggest homers on this board. The flames can do no wrong in your eyes despite the fact that this franchise has been wallowing in mediocrity for 3 decades.
I agree Hanifin does have tons of room to grow. Tons and tons of room really as he's not all that good right now. Does that mean he will grow? No. It's 50/50 at best, don't act like it's a certainty. For every Gio and Brodie, there's a hundred other guys who stalled out and never got better.
