Quoting: dragonlocks
Barrie reminds me alot of Krug only I think Barrie is a little bit better. I'm guessing your opinion of Krug is not all that high either? Anyway, we could argue this all day (like the title says it's not going to happen) Francis is unrealistic about the value of Hanifin. If he thinks Hanifin and Pastrnak are on the same level than we don't have grounds for a conversation. My question to you (Francis' opinion aside) what do you think Hanifin's value is in this 3 way trade, or is there no asset between Boston and Colorado to compensate for his loss?

I don’t think lowly of Barrie or Krug. All things being equal I’d just rather have Hanafin or Slavin over either of them, so would most GMs. And Slavin is superior to Nemeth as well despite you arguments to the contrary.
To answer your question. Hanafin’s trade value is the same as any other player.....whatever the team that owns him says it is. You can either pay the price or don’t. Perfect example - Chiarelli thought Taylor Hall’s value was Adam Larssen. Everyone else thought it was Larssen and 2 1sts. Chiarelli is an idiot.
Personally i am not willing to meet the asking price for him.
If you are asking me what i think would be fair value. A first line forward 25 or under that will be under team control for years. Which is what they asked for. Boston can’t and won’t do it. Other teams could. Another option would be A high end young forward, and a solid D prospect and a pick in the 1-3 range depending on the quality of players. Option 3 a pair of firsts from a borderline to non-playoff type team. For a team near the top of the standings those firsts lose value.
You pull a 3rd team into a deal when you don’’t have what the team you are trying to trade with wants. Carolina is looking for top 6 forwards, preferably a center. They are deep in D and willing to move some to upgrdae their forwards. You have them trading their 2 best LD and getting lesser D men in return just to add Senyshyn. Makes zero sense for them.
