First of all if you're not signing Hanifin, you're trading him. Therefore you'd have a 'risky' signing combined with other assets. Second Hanifin already has 600+ GP, this is both an asset and also a lot of wear and tear on a 26 yearold.
The main reason why I prefer to move on is because the current makeup of this team is exactly the type of team that wins 1, losses 1, and stays in the middle. Moreover Hanifin's -11 in the last playoff run, really made me question his ability to defend top lines when the competition ramps up.
