A bit of an overpay, but only by $1m or so. Not a huge deal.
He did have the 11th most giveaways amongst defensemen this season, with 92 and only had 30 takeaways. He also gives up more chances than he creates. Some of the worst possession stats on his team.
I am sure he is a capable youngish defenseman, but he probably should have come in at around Hanifin's number or lower.
