Could be a great pairing for a lot of years. FYI, Hanifin is 4 months younger than Andersson.

Fair enough. I was certainly surprised when I read that article, so my eye test is probably similar to yours. It will be interesting to see how both him and Hanifin continue to develop. I am aware of how young Hanifin is and that is why I am excited for his upside.
I certainly agree with the sentiment that with these 2 and Valimaki there is no need to be spending big FA dollars and term on the likes of Forbort and Gustafsson. Not bad players, but not what the Flames need. Sign Brodie and roll with what we have.
