IMO we got a better return than the Ekholm trade, we were on par with the Orlov + Hathaway trade, and worse than the Lindholm trade in recent memory.
A key part was that Hanifin didn't want to negotiate a deal with any team, and wanted to test free agency. That's why Conroy couldn't sell him for as much as H. Lindholm. Unfortunately, the NHL removed picks that were conditional on a player re-signing.
