Yes that's true, but obviously Chychrun is a better player than Hanifin as well. There were no prospects or players included in that trade.
Can anyone find an example of a rental defenseman being dealt at the deadline for a first rounder+blue chip prospect. It just doesn't happen. Hanifin isn't Rick Nash or Marian Gaborik.
