At the moment Hamilton > Hanifin and Lindholm >Ferland. However, both Hanifin and Lindholm have greater upside than their counterparts. So value is at least equal and maybe in favour of Hanifin and Lindholm. Plus they will be cheaper after their next respective contracts all things considered. I think that Fox is (a) a signing issue and (b) not the A level prospect some think he is - he's undersized and one dimensional.
So I don't think this trade is a huge win, but not some ripoff either. It's at least partly about how it makes the team look going forward.
