Lindholm is better, especially as an all around player than Ferland, younger too.
Hanifin quite possibly could surpass Dougie or at least match him. 21 years old. Lots of room to grow. As well, with Dougie, seems like there is something up with him. 3rd team in his young career already? hmm.
Fox, who knows how he is gonna turn out, probably wasn't going to sign anyway with our D situation. Maybe we could've used him in another trade though. That's the part that gets me, I think.
Locker room probably needed a shake up.

I agree with you that the locker room probably needed a shakeup.
Which is why my first move would have been to jettison the "veteran leader" brought in to shake things up, but who has horrifically underperformed but been gifted prime icetime. If Brouwer had been part of this trade i'd be ok with it.
