Can't have any potential aging vet taking up cap space doing nothing after 34. Hanifin's gotta go.

Kadri is on pace to get 70 points in the year that he turns 34.
Backlund is on pace for 40 points as a 34 year old.
Giordano has 74 points as a 35 year old.
Hanifin of course would only be past the magical age of 34 for one season if he signed an 8 year deal so we would not have much to worry about.
Who are these guys over 34 doing nothing that you speak of?
