Getting subpar returns for younger players than can still help even coming out of a retool / rebuild isn't going to help you as much as you seem to think.

Getting a 2025 1st that's going to be pick 25-32 isn't going to help in 4-6 years as much and Hanifin is still likely going to help in 4-6 years.

Signing Hanifin is still a completly fine outcome, even moreso if it means they'd be open to trading Andersson then.
Team rebuild wants Hanifin gone so that the team gets worse and improves it's own draft position over the next few years while collecting picks. Not because they think the player drafted using the Hanifin pick will be better than Hanifin in the next 4-6 years.
