So you trade Hanifin and bring in Valimaki.
In -> Pietrangelo, Valimaki
Out -> Brodie, Hanifin
Plus the return for Hanifin.

You forgot Hamonic and Stone in the outbox there homie.
Before the deadline, we had:
Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Stone
now we have
Giordano - _______
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Mackey(?)
Kylington
Valimaki is probably replacing Hamonic on the roster. Mackey potentially replacing Stone. That still leaves the massive hole Brodie is leaving, which is where Pietrangelo would fit.
And you are right, the cap it staying flat for 2-3 yuears, which compounds how monumentally bad the idea is to move a cost controlled 23 year old top 4 defenseman.
If Valimaki, Kylington or Mackey prove they are top 4 capable, then you look at moving Hanifin as you would be dealing from a position of strength. You are suggesting we fill one hole and then open up another.
