Might take a few years.

They definitely don't want any more huge contracts in my opinion at this time
Hanifin is 26. Backlund’s short term deal ends when he’s 36. The longest contract Hanifin could sign takes him to 36. Would an 8 year deal be better if he was 24? Sure. But find another Dman as good who will be in his prime when all these 22 year old kids are in theirs.
