I think he overpaid, again, like Hamonic.

Lindholm is meh, middle six guy. Bennett gets bust status for scoring 18 in a year. Lindholm's best is 16 - and he's as inconsistent as Ferland. He gets zero press here in Sweden, even as the 5th overall which is a big thing over here. My take - he's Mikal Frolik 2.0, but here's hoping I'm wrong.

Hamilton for Hanifin. Perhaps even value, or not. Hamilton is on a SUPER contract and just scored 17g while getting low PP time, lead league in possession (as a pairing) and has finished in the top 15 for Norris voting twice. That's quite the expectation BT is putting on Hanifin.

So, it's a trade for potential. Perhaps it was necessary, but the price looks waaaay to steep for me even if I like it from a Hockey standpoint.
