Keep him and use him to trade for an asset from another team.
I would've been good with Lindholm & Hanifin for Hamilton and Ferland.
Then trade Fox for a 1st rounder or another blue chipper.
I guess we will be able to judge this trade better in 3-5 years.

Likely because Carolina doesn't agree to the deal without him.
So do you walk away from acquiring the two players you got because you didn't want to include a guy you knew you couldn't sign or do you go ahead and make the trade and get the guys you do covet?
