I remember how many people wanted Brodie punted to the sun in 2018 after being paired with Hamonic. While I like Hamonic he is just no where near the player the Flames thought they were acquiring when they moved all those picks in 2017.
Before giving up on Hanifin it would be wise to get him an new partner and see how he looks with that player. He and Andersson were strong when paired together.
Having said that if the Flames are able to acquire a top 4 Dman in a deal for Johnny I am not opposed to moving Hanifin for a top 6 forward. I am not as down on Domi as a few posters are but I would want more coming with him. The Habs have several 2nd round picks this coming draft and a couple of those attached with Domi would be appealing and help refill the prospect cupboard while also adding a top 6 C/W. Again that only makes sense to me if the team is adding a top 4 D elsewhere
