That's going to be our defense in a few years, assuming Hanifin, Andersson and Valimaki take the next step. Depending on how Valimaki progresses, at minimum 3/4 of our top4 will be making less than $5M AAV. If we trade away Hanifin, not only do we not have anyone internally who can reliably replace his 20mins a night, but any viable replacement via trade or UFA signing will probably cost more than what he's making.
Given his age, progression and contract, I think it's extremely short sighted to trade him away right now.
