I have said this in many other proposals for ROR/Hanifin. I don't think this is good asset management by the Hurricanes. It is likely that Brind'Amour will play Aho at C, Necas will be given a chance, still have Staal, and then Rask/Lindholm at C. I think Brind'amour will play a much different style than Peters and the forwards will be allowed to use more creativity and their skill set. For that then I'd rather use Hanifin for young, cost controlled C or another top 6 winger. ROR is a better version of Staal and makes $1.5 million more and his production is not 1C worthy. He can be a 1C, but if you want to be a contender, he is not who you have as your 1C. He is a 2 way 60 point C who makes more than Staal. He is not elite offensively, which is what Canes need more of, elite, high end talent. ROR is not that, so I just don't see using Hanifin, young potential top pairing D, to get an elite 2nd line center making 7.5 million for another 5 years.
