I thought Hanifin was great this year. Top pairing D on a top 3 team in goals against scoring 48pts for slightly less than $5M.
If there is a good succession plan I would be open to trading him but I think he is full value for what the team is paying. The fact Hanifin is the highest paid D on the team shows there are some steals on the blueline but also lacking that real high end piece.
Priorities:
1. Keep superstars
2. Add a second line C who is better than Backlund
3. Upgrade the blueline
Pretty impossible task for Treliving
