I think this is highly debatable. Elias Lindholm is a FAR more versatile forward than Ferland who creates a whole panoply of options in the top six. The benefit of this deal is not realized by just swapping one player out for the other, it is rather in how the switch changes the complexion of the entire group. It also sets the Flames up nicely by adding to their set of 20-23-year-old forwards.
