They are all on the upswing of their rebuilds (or retools in the case of St. Louis). An extended Hanifin would be an effective player both now and when they are hoping to be contenders in 3-4 years.
While their may be other teams that want/need Hanifin more than Detroit, St. Louis and Buffalo… I think those 3 teams could out-bid the other teams while still retaining good prospects/picks on their teams.
I think Detroit could also be a good trade partner for Lindholm if they don’t want Hanifin.
Would be pretty crazy if Conroy came out of this draft with 3 picks in the top 20.

Detroit and Buffalo for sure. I don’t know about St. Louis. They already have four defencemen signed to big contracts with term.
Faulk 4 x 6.5
Krug 4 x 6.5
Paryako 6 x 6.5
Leddy 3 x 4
They would have to move one of them to bring in Hanifin, but they’re all 30+, underperforming their cap hits, and have NTCs. It’s a ####ing mess.
