He would be a good D partner with Seth Jones while Korchinkski continues to develop.

Chicago is apparently not interested in signing any older guys to long term contracts, so I doubt Hanifin interests them, notwithstanding that he is good.
They want to save the cap space for their youngsters when they get good. They'll sign older guys to 1-2 years contracts in the meantime.
They plan to do a Seattle type plan to some extent.
And I doubt they are trading the 19oa unless it's part of a trade to move up.
