I see people implying a sign and trade for Hanifin increases his trade value. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that applies here. It did for Tkachuk, because he was RFA and only the Flames could sign him for 8 years. If the Flames trade Hanifin, the receiving team can negotiate their own 8 year contract. I don't see any benefit in the "sign and trade" for either side. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
