Seems likely. It makes no financial sense to stay the full 4.Yeah, for non-elite prospects.
Hanifin will be at BC for 1 more year max. He might even make a roster right away if he has an outstanding training camp.
You're right. Unlikely for sure, especially if he's looking at maxing career earnings.^though i wonder if he really plays out all 4 years?
It does fit the timeline of what we have for sure. I think Nurse may make the team. He'll likely start in OKC but won't stay there long IMO. If Hanafin comes the year after, that's pretty good timing. From a development POV, I'd prefer Hanafin play in the AHL but that's his choice I guess, if he's eligible.^yes, i agree! 1 more year max. that's still fine....we would be looking at having Hanifin and perhaps Nurse looking at trying to make the team in a couple of years and that is not a bad thing. Ference's contract is up in 2 more seasons, so if MacT is too gutless to trade him or buy him out, he'll be gone anyways.
