Hamilton also might be a bit of a problem off the ice and Ferland is unrestricted in one year and will be getting a big raise. Hamilton is going to get a huge raise in 2 years. Tre is going to be able to lock Hanifin and Lindholm for a long time. Fox has signing issues and not sure if he would want to sign in Carolina either. There is a very good chance he wants to finish Harvard then become a free agent. I'm happy with the trade if you look at all the factors. Plus I highly doubt Tre is done upgrading the forward scoring

There's no one on that Canes roster I'm trading Gaudreau or Monahan straight up for.
That means Lindholm is now playing alongside TWO guys better than anyone he's played with at the NHL level. Let's see how it goes...
