As long as Treliving doesn't go full Chiarelli and trade a MVP candidate one for one for a 3/4 defensive d-man we are probably okay.
Hanifin and Hamilton as the main pieces pretty much takes the Flames back to 3 years ago when they traded for Hamilton to start with.
21/22 year old, RFA, with 3 seasons under their belt.
Hanifin (18-20 years old): GP: 239 G: 18 A:65 P:83
Hamilton (19-21 years old): GP:172 G:22 A:61 P:83
Hamilton more prolific at that point but was also a year older. If you compare Hanfin in his 20 year old season (most recent) to Hamilton in his 20 year old season it's pretty similar:
Hanifin: GP: 79 G: 10 A: 22 P: 32 TOI: 18:52 CorsiRel: 3.63
Hamilton: GP: 64 (79) G:7 (9) A:18 (22) P: 25 (31) TOI: 19:06 CorsiRel: 2.11
Pretty much identical offensive stats in their 20 year old seasons - and both are possession drivers.
So the Flames could get 4 years younger, reset the clock to when they first traded for Hamilton, and potentially add a top 6 RW who is also only 23 and has 4 40pt seasons already in the process.
That could be a very shrewd move TBH.

Hanifin has also faced much much easier quality of competition and zone starts. He has actually seen his offensive zone starts increase since his rookie season.
