Edmonton is a cautionary tale of wasting prime years of generational talent. Once you nab one you probably need to get to work immediately on improving and shaping the roster to take advantage of the talent. I'm not saying they should start taking short cuts but Hanafin likely has 10 good years left and would easily fit their timeline and provide stability at the position as he's got a high floor.
