Quoting: NorthernLeafsFan05
This is REALLY good for Vegas IMO. Hanifin is a legit top pairing defender, and getting him at less than 7.5m is ridiculous. Complete steal
The contract is objectively fair value but is going to age very poorly as soon as next year. Sephenson is gone, Martinez is gone, Marchessault, Mantha is gone. What happens if Lehner is cleared to play?
I think they'll be fine, but what if Eichel, Hertl, and Stone struggle with more injuries as they all have throughout their career? Not to mention Karlsson is 31, McNabb is 33 and Petro is 34 already.
This is literally what happened with the Sharks in 19-20. They let Pavelski, Donskoi, Nyquist walk so they could get Kane and Karlsson signed, then Karlsson, Hertl, and Couture were out with injuries for a huge portion of that year and they were 3rd worst in the league.
