I think the Devils offered Holtz and the Flames wanted Bahl.
I also think you are probably right that the bones of the deal were likely established during the deadline chatter, and that it served as the foundation for the deal eventually done.
The reason why the Hanifin return was poor was because he pretty much said he would only sign with Vegas. Increasingly players are exerting that type of control which really impacts value.

Actually, he wanted to go out east with Tampa as his preferred destination.
Don't think the return was poor. He was a rental no assurance he would sign with Vegas. Dougie Hamilton was traded for a 1st and 2 2nds.
