The trade return was definitely dependent upon him re-signing. You think the Flames would have got a better return in the summer (where the value in general was terrible trade wise) from a team that was looking to flip him at the deadline?
Hanifin had a list of 5 teams (Vegas, Tampa, Florida, Boston, and maybe LA), there were enough teams in the mix that could have paid up to get him. They didn't.
