I don't think any one has said that, in fact it feels like people are really down on Hanifan and Lindholm.
But the fact is that there really is no debate between Ferland and Lindholm, and Hanifan is younger and has a lot of things going for him.
I really liked Hamilton, but at the end of the day, this trade brings two core players to the Flames for the price of one core player, a accessory forward and a prospect that was probably never going to wear Flames Silks. At the same time the Flames get younger, and get a longer lifespan with their group of core players.
This might not be a raping of Carolina, but I don't see it as a loss by Treliving. But I can't judge it until we see this team on the ice.
If this is about Culture shock as well, then it could be a good thing.
