Pair that with a better on Ice awareness than Dougies, you get a more balanced player.

Agreed. Hanifin’s footwork and agility also appear to be at a higher level as well. But Dougie’s shot and ability to get it off and through traffic is probably the single most impactful trait between the 2 players though. But, Hanifin still has the luxury of time and the tools to develop a dangerous offensive game as well.
