A Hanifin’s a Hanifin, but a first round pick could be anything, even a Hanifin!

Also remember the team willing to pay a first and a second for a defenceman has already paid a first and a second for a defenceman. This isn’t necessarily the price the 30 other teams are willing to pay.

We just need a dancing partner, or two (or three)

I keep seeing the Provorov trade referenced when talking about what we can get for Hanifin, but I don’t think it’s that good of a comparison.
Even though Hanifin is better, the extra year of control and cost certainty teams would get from Provorov got the Flyers a decent amount of value that we won’t be able to with Hanifin since he’s a pending UFA. I also think the Flyers got a lot of value in that deal by taking a cap dump from LA with Petersen, who was an AHL goalie this season and has a $5M cap hit for 2 more years.
