The reason Hanifin would be a 1-2 on most teams and isn’t the 1st or 2nd best d on the Flames is the ENTIRE basis for trading him. High value, coveted player, and we’re lucky to have two better players. Some teams don’t even have one better player than Hanifin in the back end.
We have Weegar. Stone or Mackey or whoever would be replacing Gudbranson, who everyone counted out last season, too. Did you?

Stone? The guy who played 11 games last year? The guy the Sutter only used as an insurance policy?
I can’t believe some people want him playing 82 games
