My argument is that Hamilton is not considered to be a “front runner” by the hockey experts who you are pretending to cite. You’d have thought you could come up with at least one article when asked BTW. “Front runner” versus “contender” isn’t semantics at all. It was your point to prove that Carolina was a clear winner of the trade.
My argument is that Calgary has two core players from the trade. Carolina has one, plus a couple draft picks that have not yet had any impact on the team. My argument is that 22 year old Hamilton has a lot of upside yet, and could well wind up better than the one dimensional Hamilton. My argument is that Lindholm is a top line C/RW, and would up part of one of the best lines in hockey last year. In many ways he enabled the success of that line. My argument is that the trade favours Calgary. The only way you can argue otherwise is to say Hamilton is an elite player, and I don’t think he is. I don’t think him having a bunch of points and on a list for Norris consideration at the 1/3 mark means he is one either.
