I think some posters keep thinking back to the Nieuwendyk for Iginla deal, and expecting something like that to happen again.
But that was never in the cards. Iginla was a top prospect, all right, but the Stars didn't exactly trade him for strops. They got a former Calder Trophy winner and future Hall of Famer, who scored over 500 goals in his career. Hanifin is an excellent player, but he's no Nieuwendyk.
