Any GM who gives up a first or second for a 30 year old, career role player with one 20 goal season, and a career high of 38 points should immediately be fired.
seller's market, he can get a first but not a first and a good player/prospect that's insane

Tried to watch him this year, but he was always injured. The demands for him are absurd.
Hansen would help any playoff team. If your team traded for him, you would not be disappointed with his work ethic.
I dont see any point in trading him until next year unless the offer is for a cant miss prospect who fills a hole in our organization that is expansion draft exempt.
Hansen isnt a point producing machine, but he has proven to get points when playing with more skilled players,while being the 1st guy back to cover the declining Sedin's speed, not that it was all that quick anyway.

Any fan that thinks Hansen's value is determined by points should watch more hockey.
Intangibles only matter to the team he's on, doesn't help the trade value.

wouldn't the point be to get picks/prospects for a team that is clearly going nowhere at present? VAN desperately need to get more talent, especially young talent . Keeping Hansen so they are less bad makes no sense.
Guess Eric Staal, Mats Zuccarello, Nick Foligno are worth more in trade than Anze Kopitar, Patrice Bergeron, Jonathan Toews eh? Since you know, only points matter when it comes to trade value like you're trying to say .
Lol, right. . . Cuz opposing teams GM's only stat watch and don't look at the little details each player brings to the table . . . Cmon man
I'm not saying only points matter.
I'm saying intangibles don't increase your trade value. Especially if the most you've ever done is notch 38 points. The players you listed are in a different stratosphere than Hansen and not comparable.
You're good at hyperbole though.
What an absolutely absurd claim.
I guarantee GMs have upped what they're willing to pay because of a player's intangibles.
A player's value is dictated by his abilities, which include intangibles along with physical and measurable qualities.
If you can guarantee, surely you can provide a list of players recently traded for more than their worth due to intangibles.
Much ado about nothing but a 3rd line role player on a struggling team. Just because he's a bright spot doesn't mean he's a shining star.
His value is B prospect and a 2nd round pick, not a "good player" and a 1st round pick.
Hansen is a good all-around player, but 30 yo 3rd line wingers aren't in crazy demand these days. Especially when more and more young players are making impacts in the NHL. Because of this, picks and prospects are valued more now, than ever before.
Examples of fair value for Hansen:
- Samuel Blais and a 2nd from Blues
- Curtis Lazar and 2nd from Sens
- Danton Heinen and 2nd from Bruins
- Michael Amadio and 2nd from Kings

Pretty sure Calgary is in our division
