Tuch was playing on my 4th line and I need more depth on the backend, so that core swap for Hanifin makes a lot of sense for me. I think Hanifin still has upside to become a solid #3 or even #2 player (maybe not in Calgary though). I've had Tuch since he broke into the league and have always expected him to take the next step...and outside of playoffs he just has not done that. He is also facing a deep roster in Vegas, so it was time for him to move on.
Andersson was a Dallas draft pick but has obviously faltered. I think he is a great buy-low for the Kings.
I don't really care about the other 2 bums.
Thanks for the easy deal, Harry.
