Go back and read the trade speculation around those guys on this board. Almost all of the proposals were for far higher value than either ended up returning. Dealing Markstrom for NJD’s 2024 1st + Mercer + Casey was a popular one.

And in Feb last year, someone suggesting a return for Hanifin of VGK’s 2025 1st and 3rd and Miromanov would have been called out as a Debbie Downer. A proposed deal with TBL for Howard + Gautier + Lilleberg + a 2nd (1st if Hanifin signed) was dismissed as meh.

I honestly don’t think there was a single speculated Markstrom or Hanifin deal on this board for less than what the Flames ended up getting for those guys.
