I think it's all relative too. We don't know what the trade market is.

Is a late 1st round pick and a B prospect a great return for Hanifin...not really...it's an alright return for a guy who is a pure rental. I'd rather try to re-sign him if that's the return.

I also think lots of teams want to spend assets on d-men that they will have longer term (Hampus Lindholm deal being the example), but in order to do that you need to allow teams to negotiate and Hanifin needs to be willing to re-sign in more than a couple places.

I had heard that it was Calgary (maybe), Boston, Florida, and maybe one other market that Hanifin would be willing forego free agency to re-sign with...and it's tough to get full value if the league knows that.

An eastern conference team isn't going to want to spend big assets on Hanifin as a rental only to see him walk to Boston or Florida in the offseason.
