Well on one hand Hanifin could play top minutes on almost every team in the league and is at worst a 3/4 on a stacked team. 20+ minutes a night, 35-45 points, 600 games already, that skating, etc.
Troy Terry has two seasons greater than 60 points. Same age as Hanifin, way less track record. Lots to like about the player as well but at worst I'd say it's pretty even, maybe small add by Anaheim since they are getting the rarer commodity. Top 6 guys are relatively findable. Guys who are (or are perceived as) top 2/3s are tougher.
Edit: If Anaheim is trading for Hanafin because they want to start turning the corner on the rebuild after drafting Mactavish and Carlsson the last couple years, I would like Owen Zellweger back please.
