Don't get me wrong, I think he is a great player (I rate him higher than most people here, I think), but you don't make organizational decisions with that kind of ride-the-momentum, recency bias.

The Flames made a reasonable offer - 8 x $7.5M - which most people thought was either fair or too much, and Hanifin made his decision. Fine. Trade him and get a fair return on the asset.

But now some of you want to up the offer to $8-8.5M at the last minute, just because he's been o a roll. News flash: sometimes guys play well in contract years. Panicking, and throwing the vault at him last minute, is not how you run an organization.
To be clear I didn't mean up the contract offer.

I meant as a GM of a contender trying to win a cup I'd up the trade offer
