Just go and get that haul.
Honestly, we would be wasting the rest of Hanifin's prime here if we extended him. What the #### would be the point? Even if he's highly useful. We're not competing soon.
This is what Francis/scooter doesn't get through his noggin before doing his water carrying act on air for Flames ownership (anti-rebuild).
No you probably won't get a d-man as good with your picks, but you might just get another player or two that's good in another facet of the game that develops at the right time when the team is ready to make another run that we didn't have on this current squad.
It's always a balancing act. But sometimes it's not worth it to cling to talent just because it's good and has a few years of tread still. It has to be appropriate from a team/timing perspective.
It isn't. Getting a haul is very much in line with the Flames' best course of action for where they are right now though.
