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.

Wow, so 35 plus one day is back end of the thirties? I would say an 8 year deal locks in a solid piece for his PRIME and beginning of the decline years only, which can work for both a rebuild or a quick turnaround.
Plus, as someone else noted above. Hanifin on an 8 year, $7.5 per year contract is extremely tradeable if the team is junk at any point
