After being pissed about this trade last night, I've had some time to simmer.
Honestly, the return is a current (intriguing) player, a 1st, and a 3rd (or 2nd) for a pending UFA. This is with Hanifin's agent meddling like crazy in this as well. All while admittedly, out expectations on a return were becoming out of whack through a slow burn over several weeks. That's on us.
This trade could have been a lot worse; it's on par for a non-extended Hanifin at the deadline. Very much looking forward to seeing how this trade plays out over the next couple years. I'm happier today.
