The only reason the price felt steep initially was when the rumor broke we had a discussion for a couple of days thinking that Dougie alone could return Hanifin and Lindholm. In reality Dougie did not have the value of 2 former top 5 picks (especially with the age/ceiling of Hanifin)

I liked the deal from day 1 and grew to love it over the summer. Now that the Flames have both players locked up for 6 years at less than $5M per each it is even better.

For the Canes the only certainty they got was Dougie for 3 years. Ferland is in his last year and Fox may just wait it out to go ufa.
