How would you evaluate that trade if Hamilton re ups with them.
Ferland is healthy and re ups with them. Fox signs with Carolina?
I think you could say Calgary got fleeced on that trade. We gave up more than we got in return.
That said I understand why Calgary made the trade. Ferland would of been tough to sign because of cap, Hamilton was a culture change, and Fox would not sign here.
It worked out for Calgary. I would not say fleeced though.

None of that matters because none of that happened.
That’s like arguing; ‘what if Lindholm put up two 50 goal seasons and Hanifin was a Norris candidate year after year?’
As it stands today, the Hurricanes have very little to show for a C who just finished second in Selke voting and a quality top 4 D, or better, on nearly any team in the league, if not every team.
