I don't think Ferland was going to be re-signed at the end of the season so at worst we lose him for nothing or at best we get a 2nd at the deadline.
If Fox indicated he was high risk to not resign then moving him makes sense the question is what was his value? That signing risk goes to whoever picks him up as well which limits value to again around a 2nd round pick. If we could have signed him then he's worst a 1st plus.
So Hannifan and Lindholm for Hamilton is a good deal if we couldn't get value for Fox and Ferland
Hannifan and Lindhold for Hamilton, a 1st and 2 2nds seems steep.
Also can we sign Lindholm at a reasonable price if Carolina couldn't.
