I feel like everyone is knee-jerk reacting without actually looking at the trade. I still don't understand it. Did Calgary downgrade their D to get a serviceable scoring 2C? Did they want to get more mobile overall? Are the rumours about Hamilton true?
And did Carolina have a glut of centres? I didn't think so

the point was to draft this one overager who was ranked by only one organization
this screams bergman
I mean... the Flames have some upside in the deal, but they're playing the hope game here. Haninfin isn't exactly a huge upgrade on Hamilton in the error department, and a massive downgrade in every other department today. The Flames were already kind of soft and Ferlund was one of the few exceptions there. They're hunting for goals and they gave a good NCAA prospect to downgrade in the immediate future. Giordano is 35. Brodie has diminished.
I guess Hamilton might just be an asshole, but I think this deal has more chance to go wrong for them than Carolina.
Lindholm is more of a winger as it turns out.

I guess my issue with the trade is that the Hurricanes have always been super strong on D and in this trade they got... more D and Ferland. Doesn't really address their issues.
Thanks Shroki
As a fan of a Pacific division team and general disliker of most things Calgary I think I like this trade, but we'll see how Hanifin pans out
Also, this was one of those trades where someone genuinely had the inside scoop. Lebrun was suggesting Lindholm/Hamilton trade with more pieces just a few days ago

My guess is that it's the difference between LHD and RHD. We're deep at LHD but RHD we have Faulk, Pesce, and I guess McKeown.
Here's the full Rangers rundown barring any trades (which I'm not expecting):
That Lindbom pick in the second round seems like a huge mistake. That's way too early to pick a goalie that we don't really need with Shestyorkin, Huska, Georgiev, Halverson, and Wall in the system (and Hank still the face of the franchise for at least 3 more years), and it allowed the Islanders to take Bode Wilde with the very next pick. Not really sure what the thought process was there.
A couple decent-ish picks in rounds 2-6 but nothing very inspiring. Don Cherry would be twitching with all the Euros in there (6 total, including 4 Swedes). I really like our first round haul, though, and we certainly do have a ton of young defensemen in the system now. Rykov, Hajek, Miller, Lundkvist, and Lindgren could all be in blue at some point within the next 3 years or so. So while I don't think we did as well as we could have overall, we are walking away with some key elements of the future core of the team.
And safe to say K'Andre Miller is already a fan favorite if the general online sentiment is anything to go by.

Seems like this draft was a pretty clear sign of what Dubas looks for in a prospect. Every pick seemed to be made from a point production standpoint, not a single physical specimen in the bunch.
It's wild because I just popped into this thread from twitter where analytics people are absolutely dragging Calgary for this trade and saying for Eric Tulsky just plundered the Flames, so the whiplash I am experiencing lol
Rangers traded into the 7th round at the last second to take Riley Hughes with the second-to-last pick. Apparently Pronman had him listed potentially as high as round 2 (though he expected him to go in round 6 or 7), so that seems like a good move at the end of the draft.
Trade was just a straight swap of 7th round picks, by the way. The Rangers got Carolina's 7th round pick in exchange for a 2019 7th round pick.

Sounds like one of those situations where the coach just never likes a particular player for one reason or another.
Imagine justifying a trade on character grounds when that's the best you can come up with. I mean, it's no raising money for a hospital while black, but come on.
Its one of those situations where a coach has overstayed his welcome and needs to go.
Seriously our media sure knows how to chase a guy out of town. I partly blame MB for allowing the circus to continue
I think it's because people kinda know Hanifin and they feel like Lindholm is supposed to be good but they don't know Hamilton. Because to me the trade is at least pretty even, if not a 'win' for Carolina
I feel like Calgary's hand was forced with Hamilton and they honestly got a decent return
I've been travelling and am way out of the loop. I see that Bergevin has continued his rampage. Have I missed other big news in the last few days?
I agree. Decent trade for the amount of pieces involved. Carolina may have done better because they got Adam Fox but Calgary by no means got fleeced.
