Hamilton has problems in his own zone too. Hanifin is a premier puck rushing defencemen.

Lindholm wouldn’t be competing with Backlund, he’d likely be our most skilled RW and a right shot which we desperately need

Quantity for quality usually indicates the quantity part of the deal is vastly inferior in value to the quality part of the deal. That wouldn’t be the case here as both Hanifin and Lindholm are extremely valuable young blossoming players just like Hamilton.
