I would love him on the Blues! Speedy 3rd line RW, good on the PK. I wonder if we good get him on a 1 yr contract?
Speculation: Hansen wants out

I could always tell the drummer and guitar player were guys, they just had long hair. I honestly wasn’t sure about the keyboard player.

He'll get another job. Everything I read last year said the effort was there and he was doing a lot of things right, he just wasn't scoring, had a hysterically bad shooting percentage. But also he ended up putting a few in towards the end of the season so maybe his funk is done and things will start to even out for him again. He played a stretch of 8 games at the end of the year and went 2+4=6 in those 8. In fact, although he was scratched like a bad itch, from February on he scored 10 points in 18 games, but the narrative was already written by that point in the season. It was just not a good fit for him in San Jose with DeBoer and if he finds the right opportunity he can put up 10+20 again, or not, who knows.

DeBoer didn't like him, so he didn't play.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him be a contributor on a 3rd line somewhere, but will likely be a good 4th liner. He's a part of one of a few lineup decisions that perplexed most Sharks fans this year.

Yup Hansen will be better away from DeBoer, he'll likely go somewhere for a year or two 'prove it' contract.
I honestly didn't see a ton of the Sharks this year, but he missed 36 games and none of his underlying numbers were like, shockingly bad. Definitely within range that like, if he was hurt, the drop would make without natural age-related decline. So, unless I'm missing something (for all I know they were healthy scratches, so definitely possible), I figure he's probably still a useful player. He was never quite as good as Canucks fans made him out, and I'm no Benning defender, but he did a pretty good job on the return, I think. I'd have to go back and watch (I guess if I was a GM, I'd have already paid closer attention, and I'd have scouts to ask), I'd probably be fine giving him a bottom-six chance.
A b prospect and a 4th for at the time a very good 3rd liner who would occasionally get top 6 time? Heart and soul depth players always get a lot in trades. I remember Steve Ott threads in 2010 where the ask was a 1st plus Cody Hodgson and Paul Gaustad for a 1st in reality.

He is, at the absolute worst, a league-average NHL 4th liner. He showed flashes, during this season, of an elite 4th liner that could probably spend some time in the top-9 as the forechecker/puck hound on a line with a solid playmaker and goal scorer.
Peter DeBoer had an inexplicable hatred for him; Hansen was significantly better than Melker Karlsson who played as the 4th line RW in every playoff game this season.
Any team that gets him will be happy that they acquired him and will be perplexed as to how he was available in UFA for such little money. He will also inevitably torch the Sharks when he does play against them with his new team.

Over Hansen’s tenure in SJ he played almost 70 games with a whopping total of 4 goals. He was a healthy scratch more often than not. It was a horrible trade. Most sharks fans didn’t need to see Hansen constantly struggle in SJ to know that.

Misread original post, thought it was referring to people who knew it at the time, which I now see wasn't mentioned, this is why you shouldn't post before coffee.

I hated the trade at the time. I am big on Goldobin though. I believe he is definitely boom/busy but SJ hasn’t had a prospect with his offensive potential in quite some time.
I also think Hansen is better than his result in SJ. For whatever reason, DeBoer just straight refused to play him unless he had too

He constantly plays DeMelo over Heed so sitting Hansen isn’t his only “head scratcher” decision.

DeBoer has generally been a solid coach in San Jose and has done a lot of good things, but he has made some absolutely egregious lineup decisions during his tenure in San Jose and has shown clear biases against certain players; Jannik Hansen is one of those players.
There were some interviews that made it pretty clear that DeBoer had something personal against Jannik Hansen.

Even though the trade was for a non NHL ready prospect, Goldobin still scored 11 goals in 50 games with Vancouver.

More than 2x as many goals as Hansen scored in SJ. Hansen showed flashes of what he was in Vancouver but for the most part looked like an average 4th liner.
