He's a hell of a lot better than Mark Cundari was. So this trade is already better than the Bouwmeester trade. If he becomes a 4-5 defenceman, that would be a nice bonus. Adrian Aucoin was not a very swift skater either but hung around the league for 1100 games. So taller guy who's not quick with a big shot. But seems to be pretty coach able.
If you get 1/3 of that from Miromanov that's an excellent supplementary acquisition from the Hanifin deal.
