Seems like every point I thought of has been made, and quite a few more. Great stuff to read
I'll just echo Enoch from an even more personal POV; I just like Hanifins game more. I was never as frustrated with Hamilton as many here, I thought he was fine and I even liked his weird personality (or what I saw of it.)
But for what ever reasons, I just didn't enjoy watching him play as much as I like many other Flames, and not as much as I like Hanifin. At the end of the day, hockey is entertainment, and any trade that makes the team more entertaining for me is a trade I like.
(I still miss Ferland though, even if Lindholm seems great. I reserve the right to not be completely rational as a fan
)
