But if the return is strong, and the interest from him to stay isn't there - then by all means extract the max value.
Re-sign or trade - both are acceptable outcomes.

Still having Andersson, Weegar, and Kylington is not gutting the blueline completely.
I've never been a huge fan of Hanifin and I don't see his value getting higher from here on. Imo he's not a cornerstone D that you try to keep at all costs. His value would be much better converted into assets that the Flames can use when they're ready to compete in the future.
