How is Hanifin less valuable than Jeannot, even if Jeannot was an RFA

Calgary declines, Tampa doesn't have the assets to get Noah Hanifin out of Calgary. That offer is so easily beatable it isn't funny.

that is actually good value, Gauthier = value of a 1st round pick and Perbix is a nice young defender with good stats

Gauthier is a 37th overall pick, his value at best is a late 1st and there will be other teams that will offer 1st round picks better than Tampa.

a first, second, third, and a good young defensemen is enough to replace Hanifin's roster spot

While Perbix would be decent, Conroy still wants NHL ready players. So i seriously doubt he'd have any interest in Gauthier.

If that's not enough JBB should tell Conroy GFY and move on.

Rather not move Thompson for a rental, still needs this season in Syracuse but is a really good prospect for our right side. Both him and Crozier have looked steady in Syracuse/at the NHL level, especially Crozier.

Been said in the thread before but someone probably beats that offer for Hanifin. Gonna have to make a move in the off-season or pray he signs with us if the rumors are true.
