They say the Greek philosopher Eratosthenes was nicknamed ‘Beta’, because it seemed like he was the second best in the world — at everything.
Hanifin is the Flames' Beta. Tanev is better defensively, Andersson is handier on the PP, Kylington faster, Zadorov tougher, Weegar probably flashier… but Hanifin just doesn't have any major weaknesses. I think a lot of people don't appreciate how well-rounded he is, because being well-rounded doesn't show on highlight reels.
And of course, some fans will never forgive him for getting burned by McDavid, even though that happens to every defenceman in the league.
