The 13th overall doesn't seem like a slam dunk return to me. Hanifin was a top 5 pick himself, is now a top pairing or at worst #3 guy. Picks in the teens routinely bust.

Would rather re-enact the Hamilton trade where we traded one top pairing defender for a guy in his early 20s already playing top 4, with potential to become a top pairing guy, which Hanifin did. The pick is a bigger gamble.
