What the hell are you talking about? An 8 year deal takes him to 35. Tanev is damn near that age and he’s still a very good dependable defenseman. Hanifin’s game should age better too. If he wants to stay at the rumour Ed deal you sign him!
Any asset we get in return you hope will be as good as Hanifin! Fan bases lose their minds about prospects and picks, but having good players is fun too!
The Flames got a haul for Lindholm, they’re likely getting two more pretty good assets for Tanev.
The team is younger, has future assets now, will have some cap space… I think keeping Hanifin makes so much sense.
