I'm glad that this deal is working out for both sides right now. The tipping point question for Carolina is if they can keep Ferland who could shop himself around this summer. If the trade becomes Hamilton and Fox for Lindholm and Hanifin the deal swings sharply in the Flames favor. If Fox decides to opt out and it becomes Hamilton for Lindholm and Hanifin, oh boy.

The other scenario is if Carolina falls out of the race or decides that re-signing Ferland is too expensive. He could fetch a decent return at the deadline.
If they were to lose him for nothing, then it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he had on playoff race and possible playoff run.
It is just a fascinating trade with so many good young players.
