The only trade scenario mentioned to date that people seem to be upset about is the one in this thread and personally I feel this trade wouldn't be too bad as it addresses a pretty big need.
Hannifin is a younger Dougie basically, playing on a team that was worse out of the gates (never really in the playoff hunt) and playing 2nd pairing minutes for most of the season.
Noah - 18:53 avg TOI - 4th on D time
Doug - 21:32 avg TOI - 3rd on D time
Lindholm would be tied for 4th in points on the Flames with a chance to play on a line with Sean and Johnny who helped Ferland to his first 20g season since junior. I could see Lindholm flourishing on a line with the two of them, plus gives us a RHS on the powerplay no named Brouwer which we desperately need.
So I'd take that deal myself but I'm not Brad  |
I agree, and if the deal were Hamilton for Hannifin & Lindholm I would be OK with that too.
Just pointing out that there are reasons why people would get upset.
I remember when Phaneuf was traded everyone was waiting for a Kadri or something similar coming back, and....nothing - just pure garbage.
In this case my worry is it would be Hamilton + for those 2 which IMO would put the Flames on the losing end of it again.
