Hanifin is a regular season Dman and I don’t think he does anything particular special either. Selling high on him could be a good move. Kylington is basically a smaller, more skilled and tenacious version of Hanifin anyway. Team could honestly use some bigger Dmen with more poise and the ability to take a hit to make a play which is what they lacked in this series. The Oilers and the Stars really ran roughshod over our backend with this playoffs.

This makes no sense to me. You want a bigger better defense and your solution is to trade away our biggest top 4 defender that Sutter trusted with the hardest match ups?
Like Kylington and Andersson were disasters this series, they continually lose their guy, get out muscled in front of the net, and both made bizarre choices/mistakes on odd man rushes.
It was abundantly clear that Sutter had zero faith in Kylington without Tanev propping him up and you want to put our smallest D in the #1 position?
