Tanev would garner a very nice return. He'll be 33 in December and is coming off shoulder surgery. Also, like Hanifin, he is on a good contract that has only one more year on it. But I don't see his name in proposals.
Weegar is a stud who would generate a huge return. And he is a UFA after this season. No proposals.
Andersson is the same age as Hanifin, is a similar skill level, has a similar cap hit, and his contract has 3 more years after this one. He would probably return more than Hanifin. But no proposals ere either.

None of them approach the trade value of Hanifin. Except Rasmus. Because of course his contract is more valuable to the flames than trading him.
This isn’t complicated… Hanifin is valuable and we have a hole in the top 6. He’s due a doubling of his cap hit in 2 seasons. He makes sense to trade. Not saying they need too, or I want them too, but he makes a lot of sense.
