I cannot get past the notion of signing Pietroangelo and then trading Hanifin for futures. To get an elite #1 RHD and then bolster the draft pick and prospect cupboards while at the same time filling out the left side of the NHL D with two guys on ELC's would be such a massive win for this franchise it's not even funny.
Too bad it's very unlikely to actually happen.
Giordano - Pietro
Valimaki - Andersson
Mackey - Kylington/Yelesin/Cheap UFA

Half to think Pietrangelo is a pipe dream. Any reliable source I have heard talk about him seems to be saying the same thing; St.Louis Vegas Toronto. Probably in that order.
I would be shocked if he signed here
