The problem in the deal isn't the Hamiton/Hanifin swap...it's that the Flames still added on top of that.
Hamilton + Ferland or Fox for Hanifin + Lindholm would probably have been a somewhat fair trade but including both Ferland and Fox was too much.
Even if Fox wasn't going to sign here he should have been included in a separate trade to get a different asset back...kind of feels like too much of a throw in here.
