And the way he skates, I have no doubt he will continue to be effective, well into his 30s. Whoever signs Hanifin, be it the Flames now, or someone else in the summer, they are getting pretty much all prime years.

Hanifin turns 27 next month. Prime is pretty much over at the age Hanifin is approaching. You will likely get a couple near-prime years afterward.
ELC, max term deal, trade in final year, rinse and repeat. Augment the team with 1-year or 2-year veteran signings.
