What do you folks think of him? I don't watch the canes often but the hype for him seems pretty quiet.
Overrated.
People talk about him like he's a slam dunk #1, he's not impressive at all.
how?
Because he is not 'impressive' at 20 - he's overrated? With his size + skill set, Hanifin should become a high-impact D. He's a prototypical big-body defenseman; they take time to develop. His 2015 Draft counter-parts are different players, with a different set of tools. Their transition was easier because of the specific tools they had. But Hanifin is not lacking in any way, he just needs time and proper handling by the organization.Overrated.

Please elaborate.
people seem to forget just how much potential he has
big dmen take a long time to develop, look at hedman
I mean, I could just as easily say look at Schenn or Cowen or Gudbranson or McIlrath or Gormley or Siemens or Reinhart.
One case doesn't prove anything.
