From what I heard Hannifin would have just been a rental for the Oilers and according to his agent he hinted that he would not resign with them in July when he became a UFA as his preference was to go to a US based team.
What they would have had to give up for him as a rental simply would not have been worth it, as was the case with Vancouver and Toronto who were supposedly other teams in the mix for him. You knew LV was going to make a push for him when the put Stone on the LTIR which freed up his money at least until the playoffs start, then he can come back again like he did when they picked up Eichel.
