So the value of Provorov himself was considerably lower than a 1st and 2 2nds.
The Athletic article was based on discussions with several other NHL correspondents. Which is more likely?
A) Hanifin is worth less than a lot of Flames fans think.
B) Several correspondents in different NHL cities all have a hate-on for the Flames. For reasons.
The offers seem a bit low, but I expect they’re closer to the actual return than a lot of fan proposals being bandied around.

I don't think either of those are true. I just think most of them are terrible trade offers.
In the last year:
Chrychun got a 1st and 2 2nds.
Hronek landed a 1st and a 2nd
Ekholm landed a 1st and a 4th plus Tyson Barrie
Rasmus Sandin landed a 1st round pick
Jake McCabe (and Lafferty) landed a 1st and a 2nd
Orlov (and Hathaway), landed a 1st, 2nd and 3rd plus Craig Smith
Garvrikov (plus Korpisolo) got a 1st and a 2nd
You can say whatever you want about Hanifin, but he slots somewhere among those guys (and you can hold salary on him if you need to)
