Based on this trade I'm expecting a similar deal for Hanifin except the 2nd will be a 1st. Late 1st and some change.

I'm pretty sure they didn't say that...but it is good to have the cap available to at least try. They can still retain on 2 trades (Markstrom/Hanifin) which wouldn't be the case if they had retained on Zadorov.
