I can see why Flames fans might not love this, but I also think this is a probably a highly contract related trade.
Fox - might not sign
Ferland - UFA in 1 year
hamilton - UFA in 3 years
vs.
the potential of locking up Lindholm and hanifin for 7 years.
FWIW, Lindholm is potentially UFA in 2 years, hanifin in 4, but the potential is there to sign them long term immediately.
