I personally hope they keep one of Hanifin or Tanev…preferably Hanifin simply because of age. Defensemen typically take a long time to develop. There are exceptions of course, but they can take 3-5 years to be NHL ready, and then another 2-3 years to really find their way in the NHL. Having three veteran D like Weegar, Andersson and one of Hanifin or Tanev to stabilize things and mentor youngsters would be smart. Otherwise you’re rushing kids and/or relying heavily on bottom end UFAs like Oesterle.
