Not only is Hanifin from Boston, but the Bruins could also stand to use a player of his caliber to boost their blue line.
We know the Bruins have been incredible once again this season, and they're not as desperate for help on defense as others.
However, behind Hampus Lindholm on the left side, they've got two other impending free agents in Matt Grzelcyk and Derek Forbort. Hanifin would be a sizable upgrade on either of them.
With the pair becoming UFAs soon and their money coming off the cap, that would help set the table to open up the wallet to sign Hanifin to a potential extension.
Hanifin, who also went to Boston College before turning pro, would join Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy (not to mention Brandon Carlo), which would give the Bruins the kind of backline needed to better get a handle on the likes of Florida, Toronto, Carolina and the Rangers in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
