The only reason I’m leaning more towards it being Hanifin + Markstrom is because Sec eluded to the deal being one that is complex. Also with the pressure on Fitz right now he needs more then Markstrom remaining next year if he’s to pull off a big trade, an extended Hanifin makes the deal much more palatable should the Devils either miss or have an early exit this year.
I do agree though have Hanifin done in a separate deal from Markstrom is more ideal and likely nets more futures if the Flames can do Marky and Hanifin in different trades.
