People need to watch Hanifin play more closely. He's 22, on an unreal long-term contract, and getting better by the week. Within a year or two, everyone will be valuing him as highly as Lindholm.
I don't think CGY would do that trade. It puts so much pressure on Valimaki to replace Hanifin immediately. Much easier for the Flames to hang a package of Bennett/Jankowski/Kylington/picks out there to get a big boost in the Top 6 forward grouping.
I don't like this deal for either team.
