I don't really agree with the first part of your post - I think a player like Hanifin, as vanilla as he may be, is probably worth about this on the market. It's not a bad contract.
Having said that, the bold part is still 100% accurate. The Flames keeping him would have just been the wrong move. They would have gone nowhere had they extended Hanifin (and the others). The Flames needed to start rebuilding, and thankfully they made that choice.
