They have both been playing pro hockey for 7 years, so why des playing them in the NHL equate to not having as much room for growth?

So you are saying experience in other leagues is the same as the NHL? interesting. Didn't Kylington also sit in the press box a fair amount? I don't see a whole lot of AHL games in the last few seasons on top of not very many NHL games either.
NHL experience means nothing I guess.
Hanifin is a very good player but he is replaceable as well. Flames signed a vet Dman in Tanev and a lot of people hated that move and IMO he's better than Hanifin.
