At this point it's in Hanifin's hands if he wants to stay or not.
If he's traded its not because the flames wanted to.
I hoped we would trade him but my primary motivation for that is because he's a good player and with a d-core of him, weegar and adernson we will probably not be getting any top 5 picks.
He reminds me of a slightly better version of Brodie. Smooth skating two way guy that's not overly physical. He has a bit more offense and doesn't turn pucks over as much as Brodie.
I say this because i think Hanifin will follow a similar aging curve as Brodie.
He will be a useful player and worth his contract for most of it.
He will also keep this team from bottoming out which for many is a plus but for me is a minus.
