I don't think you have to worry about the masses turning on Hanifin for that reason though. I think the Bouwmeester fallout was due to high expectations met with more disappointment. On a roster that included Moss, Mayers, White, Pardy and Higgins... we were really excited to have a talented player come on board.

If I were to guess, one of the reasons Bouwmesster's appeal dropped so much was that much of the offensive production he had in Florida effectively disappeared in Calgary. But he also went from pretty cushy minutes in Florida to being the eventual de facto #1 in Calgary. Hanifin will hopefully benefit from not having to be "the guy" on the blueline any time soon.
