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)

This is a very good list of trades to gauge what should be Hanifin’s return. The only thing that might be tougher for the flames is that I think all of those players were traded during the start of the season or at the trade deadline. I could be wrong about some of them though. During that time, the players have their highest values to teams and the 1st round picks have their lowest values.
The flames will be looking to trade Hanifin at the draft this year which is when picks are at their highest values and players are at their lowest value. It would not surprise me if Hanifin returns not much more than a first round pick if it is in the top 13-18 picks. If the flames managed to get a return of a 13th-18th overall pick + a former first rounder from one of the last 3 drafts in exchange for Hanifin, I think it would be a really good trade considering the circumstances.
