Looking at the article by Wilson, or what I could read because I refuse to pay for it. He seems to think that the Flames paid a high price but bought in two tremendous players that will help them now.
As a side note they are two really good players and both have really high ceilings.
Yes we paid for that, but your going to pay for that for a 21 year old gifted defenseman that's been in the NHL for three seasons, and a 23 year old gifted forward.
Ferland doesn't have that ceiling, and never will, I agree with what others have said, with Ferland he is what he is now, and with a year to Free Agency its likely that you'll have to over pay to keep him. Hamilton is excellent, nobody doubts that, but I don't think its as big of a chasim as some are making it out to be, Hamilton at the same age had the same questions as Hanifin, and similar results but on a much better team playing with a future hall of famer in Chara.
