After thinking about this I think the Flames probably overpaid a little bit.
With the addition of Fox they should have gotten a 3rd or 4th round pick from the Canes as part of the deal. Not a big deal and unlikely to make a difference. The best player in the deal is Hamilton but not by much.
The Flames got the players with the most potential in the deal and they increased their scoring depth and competitiveness overall.
I'm certainly not going to lose my mind because we lost out on a 3rd/4th round draft pick. However, from a pure GM asset management perspective I think we could have done a little better but that potential draft pick is highly unlikely to make a difference on the ice.
So, slight Carolina win today with a higher potential for being a Calgary win in the long run.
