So it circles back to you think he should have lied to teams that he'd re-sign or he should re-sign with the team that gave the best offer to the Flames. The offers out of teams that only wanted him if he'd re-sign would not have been better if they were told they couldn't negotiate with him.
Flames decided to hold onto Hanifin until the deadline and their leverage decreased and Hanifin's increased.
