I don't think he's worth $9M, and I think he may be overplaying his hand. For that reason, I don't think this will be a sign and trade. The price teams pay for him will be purely as a rental, because he's going to test the market to learn that his expectations are a bit high (probably 1M high).
Hanifin I think will be a sign and trade.
Tanev will be a rental, but to a market with a strong chance of re-signing him (e.g. Toronto)
Lindholm will be a pure rental.
