I like the deal. I found Hamilton to be very overrated here because he could put up some points, but IMO his weak defensive play negates that. Plus as some others have mentioned the guy has no other gear, he was like Bouwmeester 2.0. If Hanifin can learn a more solid defensive game, I think he's an upgrade even if he doesn't get as many points

Lindholm is a clear upgrade on Ferland, so this trade is a win in my books. Treliving still needs to bring in more help up front though before the Flames can think about making the playoffs
