Quoting: mastersp4
Hanifin is a top pairing defensman at low cost cost I'm ready to overpay for him and clearly we have enough of 2nd choice. Lehner yes, we need a real backup who can play 30 games per year
correction he's a top LD in MTL only if we break up Chiarot-Weber which is a punishing duo that has us 3rd in Defensive goals scored in the NHL
Girardi will be #1 in CGY for a while i mean Norris Trophy doesnt even get him enough recognition to be remembered?
lehner i get ,
but where you got your info on Hanafin is beyond me but its really off
in MTL its doubtful he'll be top D and we dont have a norris trophy winner infront of him .
Chiarot's your guy to play with Weber and he thrives under the 23-25 minutes plus he gets some games.
Hanafin's the guy who puts MTL in a position where they can leave Romanov who's just 20 (or about to be if not )on a Cup team in a strong position to keep winning them.
This could help MTL because he'll became a winner with a standard of League Championships and top minutes when he comes in to replace chiarot as his deal endds .
Chiarot-Weber
Hanafin-Petry
Mete-Fleury
Juulsen (if we're luck he'll return as i guess Blake Coleman went through this the announcers said in 2016 and properly rested after a year off came back stronger)
