That’s a lot of holes to fill.

I don’t see how trading Hamilton for a #1 RW over trading him for Lindholm and Hanifin positively impacts our starting goalie and #1 D scenario, what does it have to do with it?
In the situation you presented, here’s what could happen:
Keep Hamilton - no #1 RW, no starting goalie
Trade Hamilton for #1 RW - no starting goalie, no #1 D
Trade Hamilton for Lindholm and Hanifin - no starting goalie, ??? #1 RW, ??? #1 D
Lindholm and Hanifin may not be a lock to fill those holes, but they have a good shot at it.
