Getting fair value for Hanifin

Lol nice bait. I actually wouldn't mind Dube in Edmonton...

Idk imo you undersold Hanifin. Even though he is a UFA at yearend, he'd at least get you a 1st and a prospect. He's a good player (from an Oil fan). And based on previous deals for D we've seen at the deadline the Flames should really be in the driver seat.

Fair value means A level prospect and a first round pick at the very least

I'd equate Lysell to a 1st, he's trending decently at the AHL level. Fits Calgary's retool timeline.

I agree, and hey I really like Lysell.

But we can't undersell how good of a player Hanifin is and how much he would impact a contender. That's Lysell and a 1st at a minimum.

As a Bruins fan, the best trade for both parties would be Lohrei + Boston's 2025 1st for Hanifin straight up.

Lohrei is a slightly higher end prospect and a bit more proven/older, but still ELC and just turned 23. Basically getting a top pairing/top 4 dman fresh out of the oven to replace Hanifin, along with a mid teens first in '25.

From a value standpoint I would 100% prefer to give up Lysell, but if Debrusk leaves in FA/can't get his game back and Marchand retires/declines due to age in the next year or 2, the bruins are absolutely ****ed.
