no they dont. that's an underpayment for hanifin

He’s healthy

Tkachuk and Monahan should not be on the same line

Hanifin's +/- ranking is higher than guys like Thomas Chabot, Drew Doughty, Erik Karlsson and Oskar Klefbom

Healthy? The man just had 69 knee surgeries

Hahahahahaha

That's an overpay for a 2nd pair D.

The guy is a 30 point defenseman and hes played in a 2nd pairing role his whole career.
He is being groomed to be the defenseman that runs the powerplay.
Hes not the best defensive defenseman in the league but hes still above average in that category
hes locked up at an incredibly cheap rate for the next 4 seasons
hes played almost 400 games and hes only 23. hes at least 4 years from his peak and hes already that good.

now lets talk about why Boston would want him
Hes a boston Native
Boston is very weak on the left side. Hanifin easily takes top spot on that roster giving him the opportunity to play top line minutes and improve on all of the things I said above
Grezelcyk is good but hes definitely not even close to top pairing material
in this trade you are giving up futures for a team that is in win now mode. not losing any nhl assets. previous rumors had both carlo and debrusk coming back to Calgary for hanifin +

You don't get a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for an average 2nd pair D. $4.95M is cheap for a second pair D? Not really, it's just fair. " Boston native " doesn't change much for me, I just want the best player.

Not many reasons to overpay him here

This is just out of curiosity, If a team offered you a late 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Carlo would you take it?

Value-wise, we win the trade. At the same time, we're in a win-mode now and trading Carlo creates a hole. We can replace it by trading those picks but there aren't that many good second pair D available in the league. If you have a name for me, I could answer.

hes also a top pairing defenseman on most of the teams in the league including the bruins

lots of people disagreeing with you here buddy maybe do some self reflection and ponder the idea that you could be wrong on Hanifins value

That opinion I agree about, what do u think they would target if it doesn't pan out?

ANA-Lindholm/Fowler
ARI-OEL/Chychrun
BUF-Dahlin
CAR-Slavin
COL-Girard/Toews
CBJ-Werenski/Gavrikov
DAL-Heiskanen
FLA-Weegar
MIN-Suter/Brodin
NSH-Josi/Ekholm
NYI-Pelech
OTT-Chabot
PHI-Provorov
PIT-Dumoulin
STL-Krug
TBL-Hedman/McDonagh/Sergachev
TOR-Rielly/Muzzin/Brodie
VAN-Hughes
VGK-Theodore
WSH-Orlov
WPG-Morrissey

Maybe Boston, Edmonton depending on pairings.

This leaves Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Montreal, New Jersey, NY Rangers, San Jose.
7-9 teams he would play on the top pair.

That’s a rough argument. He was -12 on a good team. Next to last on his team.

He’s a 25-30 point d man that has never exceeded 90 hits or blocks. His GV/TK are pedestrian. Does not play PP1 or PK1. Not sure why you label him an LD1. He does not grade out as one. Maybe his draft slot? But that is meaningless. The potential is there. And it would certainly upgrade the left side for Boston. But without salary going back they can’t do it. And i’m not paying a premium price simply for his draft slot.

Easy, 3/4 are Flames fans. Two other people/Bruins fans also agreed with me.

you honestly think pelech, dumolin, orlov, Morrissey, weeger and Chychrun are better than hanifin.

Your either lying or deluded

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so your not interested in any trades......ok you should have just said that it would have saved me a lot of time.

Ok. The only reason Hanifin ain't a first pair defensman is cuz of Gio. Hanifin and McAvoy is a pretty decent first pairing. It's also going to effeciently work in a shutdown role and Hanifin can be a good powerplay quarterback for Boston

Ive often criticized this particular poster for just rejecting every notion of a trade, but his logic actually makes perfect sense here.
1. Scenario one, doesn’t want to overpay for hanifin.
2. Scenario two, doesn’t make sense for a team in win now mode to trade a key player for picks.

I disagree with him a lot, but i agree with him here. Mostly because i think hanifin is very overrated, and i actually disagree with you. I think he would be second pair on the bruins behind grzelcyk.
