I am liking this trade more and more. Hanifin has a ton of potential and we will probably lock him up long term at a reasonable number. Lindholm’s best days are ahead and like many Swedes he will breakout in his mid 20’s and we will also have him locked up for the next 5+ years.

Fox didn’t want to sign here and staying at Harvard makes it easy for him to go UFA. Ferland was going to want a 4-5 year deal at $4-5M and he is too inconsistent. Dougie is a great player but clearly something is up. The whole brother thing was strange and if they were shopping him for the past 18-20 months there was obviously something behind the scenes because he is a great player.

I think the team is overall better today. I think Brodie will rebound playing with Gio and I really think the Hanifin-Hamonic pairing is going to be really solid.
