Lindholm and Hanifin was the best trade Treliving made. They came in at the right age and the right time in this teams previous build under Treliving. With how the last couple years played out and the new core being older I think they need to move on from both players for younger assets be it picks, prospects or players.
If the Flames can somehow draft 3x in the top 20 after making those deals they could be in a much better spot in 3-4 years when those guys are ready to make an impact. If you do not want to tank it out for high picks you need to make multiple picks.
