If he had to take on Hanifin's matchups and workload for one period it would be obvious that you wouldn't make that swap.

Teams and pundits have been praising the Flames being hard to play against and how tough they are. Is that because of Hanifin?
Not only is Zad big and hits, he will fight and stand up for teammates. And he isn't that old. Give him 5-6 years and a lower AAV.
