If you believe Hanifin is your 3rd or even 4th best and most valuable D and you can deal him to a team where he is their 2nd, you can extract more value and build a stronger team
If you believe Hanifin is , or will develop to be one of your two most important D, you keep him
I don’t think he is as good as the other 3 guys and think is a great opportunity to extract value and improve the team

Yeah, I don’t get why including a player in trade scenarios = firing him into the sun or hating him. If you want get a good player back in a trade, you have to give up a good player. If all you’re willing to move out is marginal NHLers and depth guys (ie Valimaki, Dube), then all you should expect back are marginal NHLers and depth guys.
