Maybe we are still only bottom 10? maybe, I'm responding to Boudrias who is worried Baer and Granlund aren't strong enough for the playoffs. So what i said is we are not going to be in the playoffs for a couple of seasons, both Baer and Granlund still have time to get stronger as their bodies mature with age. They are in early 20's so they are still getting stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be an idiot to do that. Impossible. The Sedins need Hansen. Benning is not trading him with Hansen saying it was a relief to know that he won't have to give a list of teams. With Burrows being UFA I think they'll want to keep Hansen for veteran presence and he is also strong defensively (re PK void that Burrows will leave) and brings a lot of speed that this team lacks. I think Granlund gets protected because he is more versatile (wing and C) and fits better how WD wants to play re his two-way game while Baer is offence only.

Sedins are in the twilight of their careers. They will be in last year of their contract next year. So will Hansen. A team struggling to score goals and in desperate need of skilled offensive players would rather give away a 24 year old guy who's still getting better and is their 2nd leading scorer over a declining 32 year old? There is no freaking way. A lot could change. Someone else could get traded at deadline, maybe Baer could be part of a package, but if it comes down to exposing one over the other it will be Hansen getting exposed.

Gaudette Celly Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hansen will be gold at the TDL. Fast, can play up and down the lineup, PK, checker, can score, gritty, and the kicker -- his contract. At only $2.5mil he'll be a lot easier for teams to make room for, and he's signed for another year yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll find a better bang for buck player at the deadline and he's also locked up for next season. If Hansen isn't moved it would be another huge fail.

Actually the epic fail will be not moving the Twins, Burrows, Miller and Tanev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
