We know what Hanley is, and Bean is better suited for that role anyway.
Hanley is about as expendable of an asset as there is given his age, ability, and contract status. It's the bottom end of the roster so it's rather inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but I'd also like to see what Miromanov is capable doing in a more limited role. He's almost exclusively played with Weegar in a top four capacity which isn't an easy task for a guy with such limited NHL time. That is tough to do though with Pachal solidifying himself on the 3rd pair.

Trust me ... I'm not buying a Hanley jersey.
Just think he gets a bad rap because of his age and acquisition method when really he's been pretty good.
