I think Hanifin for Dumba would be a good trade for both teams.
Minnesota gets the younger player under control longer while cutting 1.05M from their budget.
Calgary gets a RHD defenceman, and while he's older and making more he fills an organizational need and brings a bit more intensity than Hanifin.
Their underlying numbers are pretty equal across the board, so it's Calgary getting the RHD they need and Minnesota getting younger and cheaper with a player who could be around for them to turn their team around.
Giordano - Andersson
Valimaki - Dumba
Mackey - Kylington
It also gives us a local kid to go along with the other local kid we'll be signing (Hall).
