Calgary gave up the 15th, 45th, and 52nd overall picks all in 2015 to get Dougie with knowing what the picks were.
Calgary gave up the 12th and 43rd in 2018 and the 57th in 2019 to get Travis Hamonic without knowing what the picks were.
Noah Hanifin is locked in for 4 more years at 4.95M - cost certainty when the cap is going to be frozen at 81.5, 81.5 and 82.5 for the next 3 seasons. Just as we paid a premium for Hamonic, it's reasonable to expect a premium being paid here.
1st + 2nd + 2nd is market value for a player in Hanifin's situation, and the 1st being in that 10-15 range is a reasonable expectation.
