If I'm the Flames I ask for Duclair and Luostarinen for Hanifin. Florida doesn't have a lot of picks to offer, but Luostarinen is sneaky good defensively and is just coming into his own and just had a season of 0.5 PPG. Would instantly replace Backlund's spot on the roster but is 10 years younger (24). Duclair adds the speed and skill element necessary to supplement Huberdeau's skillset. Duclair is still only 27
Both are current roster players, but 27 and under. It would be nice to be competitive with this move, and get futures for the other guys.
