So the Flames were awful last year. Dougie let guys skate past him too often in the d zone. Lots of people noticed. Couldn’t be trusted to kill penalties.
Ferland is not a consistent impact player on his own. Can play with good linemates but isn’t driving the bus. He also is at or near his peak now, at least in terms of statistical probabilities. Inconsistent and not the primary driver
Fox - simply enough, wasn’t signing.

You get back two guys who were each 5th overall in their draft class, are still young and have been playing on a bad team. Still, they have been productive and are yet to enter their peak years.

I like the trade a lot.
