Good hockey deal.

I think Shannon's comments were funny, but they shouldn't have become the poster child for the trade the way they've been. That's not his fault as he was giving a facetious example, not reporting. But it's clouded over the trade to the point where it looks like he was studious and rejected for being so which I'm guessing wasn't the case.
I'm of the belief that this isn't the case though.

It's extremely early, but I like Hanifins game defensively a whole lot more than Dougies, and also believe there is a ton more we are yet to see offensively...he just needs to get settled in a bit more, get Hamonic back (as those two seem to really have chemistry and a nice blend at that)
