I like Kylington, has the potential to be a top 4 D. He still needs another season on the bottom pairing, and maybe some top 4 time when an injury on D occurs.

I agree I think Hanifin is the type of player you only move if the right deal comes along and there is a definite replacement coming in. For instance if the Flames did something along the lines of Gaudreau for Montour and the 7th overall pick and then swapped Hanifin for Domi I could understand. If Hall is being signed to replace Gaudreau and Domi is simply added to the top 6 that is an offensive upgrade. Montour, Valimaki in but Hanifin and likely Brodie and Hamonic out does weaken the blueline significantly
