If I’m not mistaken Carolina will have received two seconds for Fox? That’s substantial.
Hanifin to me is still a question mark.
It was a big, big trade. Obviously Carolina likes what their team has done since the deal. And Flames have two very valuable pieces.
Also bring back Flash please.

I think it sounds like I’m coming down harder than I intend. I think it’s a slight win for Carolina as it currently stands but Hanifin could swing it still, I’m just skeptical if that ever happening at this point. What annoys me is how this trade is treated like a slam dunk win for the Flames, I can understand people who like it for the flames but there’s a pretty large contingent who disparage Hamilton in order to create a false sense that it was a huge win. It’s ridiculous.
