Honestly before any of the trades happened at the start of the offseason with the 5 UFA’s if you had asked me which of the 5 I’d want to extend if I had to choose I’d choose Hanifin 100 times out of 100. He turns 27 in a couple weeks and is almost at 700 games played already which is ridiculous, D tend to take more progressional steps in their careers too and I think Hanifin has another gear to tap into. There are worse things than extending a 25 mins a night, puck moving D about to enter his prime ages and who wants to be here. Ideally we trade him but I’m not crying if we extend Hanifin.
