Remember - he hasn't done anything at the NHL level yet. So, overall, I like the trade. I think this is an improvement for the team.

My thoughts exactly. Ferland benefited from the players he played with, but belongs on the 2nd or 3rd line. I wish Ferland well and hope he succeeds in Carolina. Hamilton I feel will have a tough time in Carolina. I don't see a good Dman to bail him out when he blunders like he did defensively here in Calgary.
