Tanev is a far better dman than Hanifin, though, and Hanifin showed in the playoffs that he
wasn't capable of replacing him. That's like saying that you wouldn't trade Dube because of what the team would be like without Huberdeau.
It all depends on what you can get. Hanifin seems to have a pretty good reputation around the league that outmatches his generally fine play. Got to maximize the asset.
