If you're assessing the guy as a 6-7 that's not really fair.
In the 7 games without Bahl he's a 41.7% defenseman.
In the previous 17 games before the Bahl injury he's a 55.1% guy.
I think in a sheltered role he's been great.

The only time Hanley has been a viable option this year is when he has been paired with Weegar, but that's not a surprise since he makes all of his d-partners significantly better.
Hanley has an xGF of 40% away from Weegar, so I don't see how he helps this team at all. He's a 33 year old pending UFA who quite frankly is nothing more than a #7 defensemen.
