Sucks that Hanifin has really choked this year too, he was supposed to be the icing on the cake but he looks like he could be a dud.
I know flash is a downer but he has a bit of a point. Tre is much more mixed bag success wise than we claim around here. RFA contracts he seems to excel at the most, but that is balanced by some truly atrocious UFA contracts. If you tweak your trade opinions to mediocre, he loses his luster pretty quickly. Not yet final sutter years bad but probably not even at fletcher level.

I think there's some selective memory about Hamilton. He was not a very effective player here, points be damned. Whether he would have grown into the role is unknown. But his subtraction put Brodie back on track and I don't think Hanifin is anywhere near a finished product. And for all the improvement in Hamiton's play this year, Lindholm's has as well. I think that trade has yet to be fully evaluated, since Hamilton's year last year wasn't as good as the couple years before. What I do know is that they are minus Ferland, and up the couple juniors they ended up with for Fox.
