Thanks Diss!
Honestly, I’d be very happy with that return… especially considering everything that has gone on to lessen Hanifin’s value despite him having a fantastic season. Any first round pick is very valuable but I think that 2026 first round pick could end up being a really good pick. I’m sure there would be lottery protection but that’s fine… ever since San Jose traded a first round pick that became Stuetzle for Karlsson… and Ottawa traded a first round pick that became Byram for Duchene… it’s really tough to trade for any first round picks that are more than a season away that are not lottery protected.
