Maybe a little light but I think it’s closer than you think. The reasons I would do trade straight across are for following reasons:

1) I don’t believe in the “vast overpayment” rumours . It’s got to be somewhat fair for both teams or trade won’t be done

2) following rumours of no retention I see the original trade being holtz and a 2025 first.

3) if it’s the 2025 first, good chance it’s a late first. I just don’t see a late first and a winger as helping out flames as much as a young center

4) I believe hanifin will be traded as a rental price. It pretty much only leaves Markstrom as bait to get a young center. They won’t be trading Anderson or weager in the following year. Just not much left to get a young center
