This is probably God awful but I'm throwing it out there to see if there is any type of modification or if it should be scrapped altogether.
I always thought LA should go for Chychrun, but this could be just as good. I would assume they make this trade knowing they'll be keeping Hanifin long term. That means they move/move on from some of their other guys in the offseason to accommodate, but its doable. Or maybe this makes no sense after the Gavrikov acquisition. IDK, you tell me.
Anyway, summary of what everyone gives and gets:
-Avs move a 1st, Behrens, Meyers and Johansen for Turcotte, a 2nd, and a 3rd. Turcotte probably won't completely solve the team's issues immediately, but he could be a good long-term addition. The Avs have the picks in case they want to chase a rental to help this year. I left that trade off though.
-Flames moves Hanifin for a 1st, Kaliyev, Behrens, and Johansen. I think this is a solid return for them. Behrens could be a good fit on their D for years to come, while Kaliyev provides some scoring and potential upside. Perhaps its a bit redundant with Kuzmenko, but I still think it works. And obviously they get the first round pick that they need in any move.
-Kings move Turcotte, Kaliyev, a 2nd, and a 3rd for Hanifin (at 1.5M) and Meyers. Losing Turcotte and Kaliyev hurts, but it's not as though the Kings have no forward depth. They can afford to make this move, and this strengthens their D, making it one of the better groups in the league.
My inclination is that LA declines first, and Colorado may not go for it either. I feel like Calgary gets what they will likely want, and they might be in.
Understand where you're coming from. It's a necessity that Hanifin extends per the description (I probably could have been more clear). Still a no?
Probably. 3-4 months ago, the Kings might have gone for it, but Turcotte has looked fantastic since he's been called up, and the upside is too high to not see how it plays out.
Not sure the Kings can afford a Hanifin extension. I think the priority is re-signing Matt Roy, and they can't afford to do both.

Take out Turcotte and Meyers and the Kings might go for that. The Kings will not give up their single best forward prospect for a rental defenseman.
I'm not saying you're wrong at all, but would kind of nix the whole deal as the idea here is a 2C for the Avs. More likely the Avs would have to add more to get the Kings to bite were we to continue the premise.
