The 9th OA is enough to get Hanifin but we won't be giving Detroit Vladar and dropping down 1 spot on our own pick too. One or the other is doable but not both.

Seems like a high price for only one year of Hanifin. Has he said he won't sign an extension?

So much wrong with this all I can do is say the Red Wings never consider it.

I agree Detroit doesn't even consider this.

No he hasn't. Many of us fans would like to trade him because we're probably going to have to move at least one of the pending UFAs and the defense is pretty strong making Hanifin likely the most expendable as well as likely fetching a return as good as or better than any of the others except Lindholm who we won't trade unless he won't extend.

To clarify my earlier comment if it was just Hanifin for the 9th OA Calgary could add a pretty good (but not top) prospect a couple 2nd round picks or something of comparable value. Or make it 9 OA + a good prospect, bottom 6 roster player or Detroit's 2023 2nd and Calgary might be willing to add their own 16th OA.

Not top prospect means not Wolf, Pelletier, Coronato, Zary or Poirier.

Why on earth would Detroit trade for a LD?

We have the best and deepest prospect pool on that position in the entire league as it is.
