I'm really glad it happened of course, but why the hell did Waddell make the Lindholm/Hanifin trade? Trading away 2 solid players on cap friendly long term deals for a soon-to-be UFA and a defenceman who has never found a good fit in 6 years in the NHL. He must be praying to the hockey gods that Fox turns into an all-star, otherwise he'll be remembered as a GM in the same breath as Milbury and Chiarelli
