I used to be on the 'trade Hanifin to fix the forwards' bus, but I think we have now seen that LD isn't the position of strength/surplus that we hoped it was.

Valimaki isn't reliable yet, and Gio isn't terribly reliable anymore.

Hanifin leads the team in EV TOI, and his brain lapses seem to be less and less frequent.

Then again, we do have Markstrom now, and LD's can be easier to come by than RD's, but I still of the mind that we need to actually change up the forward core, not simply add to it.
