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

Hanifin is 25, Tanev is 32. Tanev has been unbelievable for us, the last couple years. But his game is going to start to slide eventually, and he just reconstructed his shoulder.
We don't yet know which of Hanifin or Andersson is going to be better. And we don't yet know what Kylington is. If Andersson and Kylington continue to improve, then maybe there is room to trade Hanifin next year.
But right now, he is a key part of our D. And as I said, there is a chance we see a large drop off from Tanev.
