Awesome Trade by Brad our team looks great now.

I couldn’t agree more! Lindholm is twice the player Ferland is and Hanifin is 21 and a stud D. Yeah Hamilton is really good but also had rumours of issues in the dressing room... remember he was also traded from Boston and had rumours about his personality. He is skilled but very soft for his size and position. Gio made him look good - remember that. Hanifin has as much potential and 4 years younger...
Ferland was not a top-line RW - to inconsistent and took too many nights off. Lindholm has way more upside and potential. Now we have a first-line RW option.
Fox HAS NEVER PLAYED a game in the NHL - may not have wanted to sign here - So not upset he’s gone
People going nuts is hilarious... comparing to Phaneuf deal is also ridiculous. Hamilton might be the “best player” in the trade today but doubt he will be in the next few years. No Gio to support him in Carolina, I bet he takes a major step back.
