Clearly, I'm being obtuse here, but I don't think I'm the only one.

Here's how I break it down in terms of apples to apples:
Hamilton = 1st + 1st + 2nd
Ferland = 2nd + late round pick
Fox = 2nd + late round pick
Reasons: Hamilton only improved his value and so his younger value (1st + two 2nds) is upgraded so that one of those 2nds are now a first. He is now a legit franchise D-man, the kind who are rarely traded. Ferland is now a twenty goal scorer just hitting his prime and is a highly physical player who can go up and down the line-up. Fox was drafted as a 3rd and since then his stock has risen exponentially, given his NCAA performance is historically exceptional for a young D-man.
Hanifin = 1st + 2nd + 2nd
Lindholm = 1st + 3rd
Reasons: Hanifin is worth at least what Dougie was worth when he was traded from Boston. A possible franchise D-man value. Lindholm, however, has been in the league five years now and recently regressed from his career-high 45pts in 72 gp. Not quite Tomas Tatar value but more than Ryan Hartman value.
Tally:
Flames acquire: (X2) 1st rounders, (X2) 2nd rounders, 3rd + late round pick
Canes acquire: (X2) 1st rounders, (X3) 2nd rounders, + (X2) late round pick
Not surprising. Treliving is banking on two things:
1) Sold high on Ferland, Fox, and Hamilton, assuming they reached their ceiling.
2) Bought low on Lindholm and Hanifin assuming they haven't reached their ceiling.
