Yes, I am very aware that a popular sentiment will be "just keep him", but that's not the point of the thread. What could be fetch?
Reinhart for Hanifin was thrown out and generally favored by both teams. I'd still make that deal, Canes could use another top young forward and Slavin's development would mitigate the loss of Hanifin.
Hanifin has come out flying for Carolina though this season...

Sounds like a good basis to a deal, but I'd probably be a little reluctant from the Canes side. Rask has played well, Aho has tons of upside, Staal is an excellent shutdown C. Stacked D and solid C seems like a better recipe for success.
I guess it depends what you see as the top end for each player. I see Hanifin being a sure fire top pair defender. Not sure I see Reinhart being a legit 1C.
Yea but Slavin is a fair amount better and in my opinion will continue to be better.
Hanifin-Faulk
Slavin-McKeown
Fleury-?
Heck of a start to a defense, although if you think Slavin can handle LHD1 and Fleury can eventually handle LHD2, then you can deal from an area of strength in Hanifin...although I think you could do better then Reinhart - not discounting him or anything but just think you can get more.
First pairing, youngish Left Shot D, preferably someone who's skillset complements Risolainen.

Hes too young and could go either way. Its very difficult to gauge his value in the long term.
I wouldnt pay 2nd overall prices for him and the Sabres would never accept a discount. I think the effort is moot at this stage.
Sounds like you should target Ryan Murray. Jackets need a C like Sam Reinhart.
Brodie for Reinhart!
