This article is about a possible landing place for E Karlsson.

Different player (RD for one thing) but the gist of it will be the same for lining up a Hanifin trade - it’s really hard in today’s NHL to make deals involving big contracts. Half of the interested teams will have to make other deals first just to free up the cap space.
Salary retained w/ Hanifin and he's a very valuable piece.
