Detroit and Buffalo are 2 of the few teams that may be willing and able to deal one of their young studs for an older player, simply because they have enormous wealth when it comes to top-tier prospects. That said, I can't see any way we're getting an elite blue-chipper like Edvinsson. That would almost be like trading Seider for them, as Edvinsson is a future top-pairing D.
I would be fine getting only 1-2 assets in a trade for Hanifin (as opposed to the standard 3 assets of young roster player, prospect, pick), if it means upgrading the talent we're getting back. Hell, I would trade Hanifin straight across for Jack Quinn, even with the injury.
