I think the flames slightly lost this deal, by the value of Ferland. The other four players balance out and I’d imagine most would be content with..
Lindholm + Hanifin = Hamilton + Fox
That seems like a fair trade to me
But what’s Ferland worth?
- First half of season 17/18, a second round draft pick.
- Second half of the season, a fifth round draft pick
So IMHO if the flames got Carolinas third/fourth round pick in next years draft included with that deal, then I think it would have been even.
We’ve basically given Ferland away for nothing, which I’m not going to jump off a bridge about!
