I think without a doubt Hanifin is better in his own end. One of the things you never saw with Hamilton was his usage on the pk. You would think a bigger body with reach and skating ability would be a fit. That just wasn't the case, even though he was paired with Gio as the first pairing, when it came to killing penalties he wasn't on the ice.

All last season Hamilton was on for around 40 minutes. Hanifin also wasn't used a ton last year, but this year he is alead at 14 mins which is top 4 minutes in Calgary where Hamilton is 6th in Carolina.
