Interesting to have someone who does things in charge. A good trade for us.

brutal

 

[DaveG]

short term win but long term it's an absolute loss for us. Not happy right now.

Ferland's meh, can fill a top 9 wing spot for us
Fox wasn't signing with Calgary, and I have no faith that we're going to have any better luck.

 

[kk87]

You guys made out like ****ing bandits here

 

[Filthy Dangles]

All I can think of is Carolina is very high on Fox and thinks he might sign down the near road.

 

[GoldiFox]

Flip Hamilton to Edmonton for a massive haul. Draisaitl+ or RNH+Puljujarvi+

 

[GoCanes2015]

I like it if we can sign Fox. Seems like a "change of scenery" type trade - Hamilton is a bit older but better than Hanifin, Ferland was a 40-point guy last year, so bit of a swap for Lindholm? Fox is really intriguing, hopefully he likes what the Canes are doing and signs.

 

[HisIceness]

I don't know much about Hamilton. Hate giving up Hanafin over Faulk though.

Not terribly sad to see Lindholm leave, for where he was drafted I thought he was underwhelming.

Going to reserve overall judgement for later.

 

[hurricure]

This trade will look ridiculous in 4 years

 

[BB88]

Some probably are going to disagree with me here, but.

Carolinas offense is going to see a massive boost next season.
Hamilton is clearly the best player on this trade, he's in his early prime, +40 point player who can skate.

Slavin- Pesce
Fleury- Hamilton
challenges the best of top4's in the league, Hamilton a clear upgrade on Faulk, now this puts Faulk on the market, hopefully for a forward.
Add Hamilton over Faulk, Svec+Necas and whatever they can get for Faulk and Carolina is going somewhere.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

If everyone signs I actually don’t mind. Hamilton is a legitimate 1st pairing defenseman that can run our PP. Ferland plays 3rd line. Fox adds some RHD depth and sounds like he’s a player.

We are now 5 deep on RHD assuming Fox is willing to sign. Faulk’s gotta be gone, no?

 

[Boats Ahoes]

I am happy. Never got what everyone else saw in Hanifin in his time here, and Dougie is a gigantic upgrade

Absolute loss? I guess if you’re really high on Hanifin still. Lindholm I don’t think is getting any better. He is what he is now. Hanifin is nearing the point where you can no longer trade him based on potential either. We’re better now and both guys Calgary got may not get any better.

McKenzie just said this trade increases the chance that Fox goes pro after next season. If we sign him too it’s an even bigger win.

 

[dogbazinho]

I think I would have preferred a prospect/pick trade for Hanifin but I understand the mentality to get better now. I think this does that and gives us some options for the future with Fox.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Flames fan here. I think you guys probably won the trade at first glance.
You're getting some good players. Hamilton is a stud especially on the Offense. Ferland can be very hot/cold. He's probably more of a 3rdish liner, but has a GREAT shot. Stick him with some playmakers, he could probably do some damage. Very good physicality too when he feels like it. Fox probably wasn't gonna sign with us with our D situation, but not sure. He seems like he could be a solid PP quarterback for you.

I do like Hanifin and Lindholm a lot, though. Any words on them? Thanks guys.
Hope our teams do great this coming year!

 

[Novacane]

When I see such a split between people hating and loving the trade for both sides, I gotta think it’s a fair deal

 

[DaveG]

I have absolutely no faith in Fox signing, even if we do move out Faulk.

Looking at our lineup right now:

Aho - Rask - Teravainen
McGinn - Necas - Svechnikov
Ferland - Staal - Williams
Martinook - xxxxx - Foegele/Zykov

I figure Skinner's as good as gone, maybe we'll have better luck getting an LHD for him?
We really need to make a move for a legit top 6 forward with Faulk now.

 

[GoldiFox]

If Fox signed and it is an easy win. Hamilton replacing Hanifin in the top-4 is an insane upgrade. The Canes were backlogged in the top-9 anyway and Lindholm had only 2 guaranteed years left.

 

[Canes]

Flip Hamilton to Edmonton for a massive haul. Draisaitl+ or RNH+Puljujarvi+

And have who play defense for us?

 

[HisIceness]

You guys made out like ****ing bandits here

Waddell robbing another team in a trade? Should we all go buy lottery tickets?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I have absolutely no faith in Fox signing, even if we do move out Faulk.

Might be the kind of thing where we did some due diligence first with the Harvard connections.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

I think you guys won here, big time.

What the heck you guys are talking about here....you won,
both Hanifin & Lindholm, to me...overrated.

Ferland, great game changer player, a hit, a goal, any kind of play, dude always gives 100%
he might not be the best player out there, but all rounder who can do and play any role what given,
pest, scorer (to some point), hitter, two way penalty killer / power play front of the net guy

Hamilton, i don't think anyone needs to explain how great this right shooting d-man is.
- big fish!, big fish!, BIG FISH!!

Fox happens to be a quality prospect who is getting "marinated" in the NCAA

At the very least we know that Bill Peters knows both guys well, that should be a benefit for your team.
