But yes, I believe Tanev is a better player but I really enjoyed what I saw of Andersson Hanifin in the playoffs and think Gio Tanev will work well.

I agree. Plus, Gio and Andersson both lack foot speed. I also think 20 minutes of great Gio is better then 24 minutes of pretty okay Gio, especially in a condensed season where we need out captain fresh for the playoffs.
The Flames need to figure out how to do more with pretty much the same roster. A few minutes less for Gio, more offensive starts for the Monahan/Gaudreau lines, and a bit more responsibility for the young guys is how to do it.
