NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has let slip that Hanifin is eyeing four teams for his next move: Tampa Bay, Boston, Florida, and New Jersey. It appears he's keen on a team based in the USA, with all four squads in the mix for playoff action.
Then, there's the Boston Bruins, always on the lookout to add muscle to their lineup. Hanifin could be a perfect fit, though they'll have to navigate future cap challenges.
Each team faces a tough decision. As they mull over their options, the outcome could leave a lasting impact, with some possibly kicking themselves for not snagging Hanifin when they had the chance.
