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.

I would do that trade 10 out of 10 times. In hindsight Calgary won that trade easily.
Yet we sent out the more valuable players and prospect in that trade. I know why we did it, and not arguing against that.
Just saying no one knew Lindholm would be as good as he has been. Hanifin? He is ok. He has never taken that next step. Good top four dman.
Calgary gave up a Norris contending Dman, a future Norris winner, and a very solid player in Ferland.
We gave up more than we got back. Difference is we were able to keep the players we traded for.
