I think there’s a good chance they do. Tanev brings a lot to the table. He’s obviously not as young as Hanifin is, but I find people put way too much emphasis on the age of the player. Age doesn’t make the player. Heck Hanifin is nearly 400 games into his career.
Maybe if Hanifin showed me more flashes of brilliance and impactful ability, I could maybe get behind that. Otherwise, like the one poster put it earlier, he’s exceptionally mediocre. Great skater, but really meh everywhere else and below average defensively. The value of his $5M cap hit just isn’t there for me.
