It's all a nice thought.
Once one thinks of trading Seabrook, it's clearly a step into fantasy land so the Blackhawks might as well get Hanifin in return.
In reality, Seabrook's contract is not tradeable. If Seabrook were to become a free agent, would he get 6.8M/yr? Maybe, maybe not (I'd say no, but looking at the 2016 contracts handed out, he probably would), but for argument's sake let's say he would. Why would a GM trade for that contract/value when they could sign a free agent for that contract/value? They wouldn't trade for the value unless they want to be fired within a few years.
I get experience/cups matter (especially at the trade deadline w/an expiring contract), but typicallly not in an offseason trade of a long term contract.
