So, in terms of trading, this likely needs to be looked as trading a rental.

The time to trade Noah to maximize return was 2022, when Johnny and Chucky left.
It didn't happen, and as time progressed Noah gained trade control and likely narrowed his view of where he'd sign.
This Noah Hanifin situation is no different than the Jarome Iginla situation (if you take the emotional attachment to Iggy out). The Flames kept the asset and spun their tires in irrelevancy beyond the logical jumping off point.
That is to say that if you're upset with the Hanifin return, then perhaps you should start thinking it's time to trade Rasmus Andersson now/this Summer when there's term left on his contract so we don't have to get tied to whether or not he'll re-sign where we're trading him. Extract value from the term remaining.
