Flames have won the worst division in the league and were embarrassed in the first round by a wild card team. I just never liked the narrative of many Flames fans on this forum stating that Tre has fleeced the Canes. You should never evaluate a trade like this just few months after. If the Canes win the cup this year, they won the trade. If the Flames are going to win the cup during those 6 years of Hanifin and Lindholm contracts, Flames won it. But ultimately, you play for win, not for fancy stats or a healthy cap situation. You want to win.

Nope
Ferland 0-6 in the playoffs
