It's really impossible to judge a true winner right now, because as you said this was a hockey deal and the Flames gambled on potential, but I don't think for a second the team is now better at this point in time.

Gave up the higher scoring defenseman and pretty equal on the forward. Hanifin is likely a better defender then Hamilton and I think the forward exchange is a wash..... at least in the beginning. Looking at Carolina’s forward group I don’t see where Ferland fits in the top 6.
