Carolina was easy pickings for Treliving, they seem to have awful player management there along with a losing culture with zero fan base. It makes total sense that the 3 players they let go are having big years. Carolina let go a guy on pace for 50+ goals, a 21 year top 4 offensive Dman, and a player who could very well hit 70 pts. We were told Hanifin wasn’t a top 4 guy and Lindholm was a 40-50 pt guy. Boy did they give up two studs on 2 extremely reasonable contacts and let Skinner go for chump change. Oh and they let a good coach walk away too. Flames scouted the Hurricanes perfectly, while also having a coach that knew these two players very well. I understand maybe trading Hanifin because they have a solid D core but man did they ever #### up letting Lindholm go. Such a good 2 way player on just a sexy sexy contract. This trade looks better and better for the flames every passing week. Treliving nailed this one
