lol never mind pointless in arguing with takes like these

I don't think its even debatable that the Flames won the Hamilton trade...part of the reason they traded him is because they knew he was chasing a massive UFA deal, which he did

Hanifin had a better year last year statistically than Hamilton's best in Carolina not to mention Lindholm. Both Lindholm and Hanifin are on great contracts and still with the Flames so I don't even see a debate. Maybe if the Canes won a cup in the meantime but they didn't.

Even then you can't just compare team results...with that logic the the Flames were winners losing Gaudreau because they are better than CBJ
