Description

In this attempt to find that LD I target Noah Hanifin. This is a particularly challenging trade to design since Hanifin is really good young D. Please comment below as calmly as possible if I miss the mark completely.

Reasoning behind the trade: I would imagine a package to be able to get Hanifin would include a Roster player, high pick and good prospect. In this case I send Galchenyuk who will play in the Canes top 6, Lindgren who I think can become a really good split starter and a 2019 First Round Pick. I had debated making it McNiven instead of Lindgren but, Lindgren has more immediate impact. Anyways please let me know if this deal looks good or bad and why.

I like this Hanifin trade. Maybe giving up too much for him but it would work out for both sides pretty well

How do people value Hanifin vs like a Brodin or even Maata? Feels like there has been some overvaluing of him. MN would take that trade for brodin if you made it a 2nd not a first.

Just my opinion, but I would imagine Hanifin is viewed as the better asset compared to a Brodin or Maata. He's a few years younger and putting up better numbers than those two....but more importantly...the expected upward trajectory for him is a little steeper than those other two.

I think the 'over valuing' of him is related to the difficulty in acquiring top pairing defencemen. He's not a stud d-man right now...but it's almost impossible to trade for one of those...so teams would be willing to take somewhat of a gamble by over paying for a good young d-man that appears to be on the track of becoming a stud. It's a tricky game because most defencemen don't have a consistent positive growth in their development. Most will struggle for a year or two vs where there game is expected to be at (based on draft pedigree or performance in years 1-2). Maata and Brodin might be good examples of that right now...where their respective performances are falling below where most thought they'd be right now.
