My 2 favorite deals of the Treliving era was the one that brought Hamilton here but the one that sent him away was my absolute favorite. This team badly needed a retool and reset after the Hamonic blunder and missing the playoffs. Flipping Dougie, Ferland and Fox for 2 former 5th overall picks aged 23 and 21 was amazing. Lindholm absolutely broke out here and became a star player. Amazing contract and I feel that trade pushed the Flames as close to contenders as they have been since the 04 run and year after the lockout.
