Didn't you just say Valimaki and Dube wouldn't snag Dumba yet Hanifin is getting us that? I get the 2023 draft is deep but we are talking picks that could be around 40th overall. Those players are years away from playing and will be maybe nice to have in the back end of Kadri and Huberdeau's deals. Right when this team might be in serious trouble and in a full rebuild.
Hanifin out Eberle in would dramatically make this team worse now

Ya I don’t think it is a great deal the more I think about it but not sure about a dramatically worse team. I would look at those picks being the highest of their 3 2nds.
The only way moving Hanifin for a winger makes sense for me is if the package includes some pretty decent futures in addition to the winger. I also am not sure which teams really need a Dman?
End of the day what makes the most sense to me is signing a free agent like Kessel and leaving the D as is to start the season
