I think you are undervaluing Garland is a very good two way forward, who put up 52 points last year, mostly at 5v5.
I have seen Hanifin mentioned on here in trades for Barzal which laughable. We would have to add significantly to make that deal work.
We just aren’t getting a first line forward for Hanifin, that’s not happening.

Well not to walk back what I said, but a Hanifin top line forward trade likely involves an add on Calgary's end. Like a Dube.
Salary wise it would probably make things work better, too. Hanifin and Dube are $7.1AAV together, and a first line scoring winger is likley in that range.
