There area lot of reasons to like the trade for the Flames, but the idea we traded away an inconsistent player in Ferland to someone who is more consistent in Lindholm is certainly not rooted in fact. Ferland's production came with quite a bit less ice time as well.
One of the big plusses with Lindholm vs. Ferland is the expectation we received the more complete player who would help the top line not spend as much time in their own zone 5 on 5. That still hasn't panned out, early in the season. Instead we have received some unxexpected scoring production.
