Stanley Cup champions typically have a true #1 dman like Hedman, Letang, Doughty, Keith…
You can call them 1st pair quality if you want but fact is the failed miserably in this playoffs. I would say they are the biggest disappointment after Markstrom

Yes, he struggled with the matchup against McDavid.
And yes, it would be great to have a Hedman.
But that is not a reason to get rid of Hanifin. You don't trade second line players, simply because they aren't first line players. Hanifin is a solid top 4 Dman when used properly. And he is good value for his contract.
But if you can trade him for Hedman, then sure, let's do that.
