And defencemen aren't all about points, which escapes a lot of posters. Pietrangelo If Hanifin was a UFA he's command $7M. Trouba makes $8M, PK Subban makes $9M. And the price of Dmen shot up last off season.
Hanifin was first pairing for most of last year. And he was at a 26 point pace, and has scored over 30 twice.

All data points to Hanifin being a 2nd pairing D man. He is a 30 point d man like I said. Jfresh analytics names him as a 2nd pairing D man with pretty average defensive analytics. Also Those defenceman you named were UFA. Can't compare an RFA with a UFA. Hanifin contract was 4 years RFA and 2 years UFA. He was fair market value when signed.
Also Mangi signed a 2 year deal for $2.4 but you don't think he would have added 6 more years to make $35 million more guaranteed? That is a silly argument.
Flames likely sign him this off season for that deal.
