We’re already deep on d and this proposal was based off us winning first overall and drafting Dahlin as well.
Makes no sense to trade Hanifin for #8 just to draft another defensive prospect.
Hanifin goes for a young forward if he goes at all.
I get it, I think you would move Faulk before Hanifin, I am a big Hanifin fan, I think if you move him now, you guys (your team) will regret it for a decade. He is just starting to come into his own, pay him now on a nice 4-5 year deal and let him prosper there regardless of getting Dahlin or not.
Faulk seems like the guy that can get you want you need, but the Hawks aren't in that position to give you anything outside of Anisimov and Jokiharju/Mitchell for him...
Anisimov is an underrated center, but he isn't a #1 obviously...we need defensive help and Faulk even on a down year cures much of what we desperately need.
