I'm not concerned about term with Hanifin. That said, I think that anything over $6.5M is not worth it. Maybe Toews signing for $7.25, made Hanifin come back down to earth for his ask.

I'm mostly worried about his ability to shutdown top players. I also don't think that he and Andersson are an ideal first pairing. I think we could use someone like Skjei to generate more offense and scoring from the backend.
