Wrong. Lindholm is a first liner who is strong defensively as well. He’s the best player in this deal. Ferland only plays like 45 games/year. Fox wasn’t going to sign. Hana fin is currently a very good 2nd pairing d man, with top pairing upside. Hamilton isn’t elite, he’s very good but one dimensional.
It’s not quite a fleecing but the Flames clearly came out on top as it stands.
