It's 100% Frank's speculation IMO
Most other insiders have stated Boston, Florida, and maybe one other team (maybe that's Tampa) as the spots that he prefers.
And I don't think they will have the cap space. They will want to re-sign Stamkos, Hedman needs to be extended the following year.
Stamkos is their only big contract expiry. Hagel already has a $5M raise that takes most of that cap space though.
The would have to trade a player to make space for Hanifin at $6M+, unless they aren't re-signing Stamkos.
