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.

I hate to break it to you, but on your 35th birthday you’re in the back half of your 30s.
Any draft pick we get in return will be 18. We will have a decade plus to build a team with them as part of it.
Do you think Vancouver is crying about Juolevi now since only Pettersson and Hughes worked out? Poor Colorado picking Jost when only Makar and Rantanen and MacKinnon worked out? Of course they all won’t work out. Get as many picks as you can to have a better chance.
