Canes fans do deserve better management. But it is hilarious to see Hamilton available for the "right offer" already. Don't think the Flames can afford or really need Ferland, as nice as it would be to have him back.

Setting up the play?
Canes swapped a LHD for a RHD and traded away one of their best scorers.
Now the Canes are looking to move an RHD (they have too many) for a scorer (they have too few).
Kind of reminds me of the Habs under Bergevin. Alright boys, we need a centre. We've got some good pieces. Let's trade Subban for a defenceman and Sergachev for a winger. Huh, we still don't have a centre.

I honestly think the only team Dougie would fit in with is the Yotes. Why, the GM places a ton of value on analytics. He makes a good salary for his talent. And it’s a place where no one cares about hockey.
There’s something seriously wrong with him as a teammate. There’s no way someone as talented as him should be traded as often as he is. Also he’s starting to score again, maybe the GM told him to produce and he will move him.

I honestly think Chayka claimed Familton to destabilize our locker room to facilitate a trade that would send him to Arizona. He was claimed on Jan 4th, by which time the Yotes were already well out of the playoff race, and didn't play until Feb 24th. After all, Chayka is Mr. Analytics and Dougie is an advanced stats darling.
That's right ladies and gentlemen, Chayka is the reason we're first in the division

If Hanifin remains the player he's been over the last two months it's almost insulting.

The way Lindholm has meshed, Hanifin is just the cherry on top.

And that in itself is wild - that a 21-year-old defenseman on pace for like 40 points is a cherry on top.

It really is. Hanifin and Kylington are the same age. Imagine how hard we would be hyping he Kylington or Andersson, for that matter if they were on pace to get 40pts? Hanifin has played for a few years already but what he is doing is establishing as a top young defenceman in the NHL.
Hanifin is a tremendous hockey player.

40 pts without being the main offensive role...he is doing good.
I didnt really follow Lindholm that much before but how can you trade a good young player like that?
Under 5M for 6 yrs for both players is also a steal...BT saved his job with that trade
Ace Rimmer
Stoke me a clipper.
He definitely gave the franchise life with that trade. Yeah we were up and coming, but that trade basically puts us in "playoffs minimum" for the next few years (and potentially dark horse contender, even this year).

I agree, this trade changed everything for us. What a huge win, along with getting Peters.

Once this season is over, I've got a lot things to add to the crow eating thread that I'm not going to jinx right now

Yeah I loved the deal when we did it. However I get people being on the fence with it, we gave up a lot and no one expected this kind of season from Lindholm and Hanifin.

Yeah Peters... wow. Was I ever wrong about hiring him! Definitely a solid candidate for the Jack Adams.

That was one of my first comments when I heard of that trade. It felt like Tre immediately modified the contention window from 2-3 years to around 3-5 with that trade alone.
But this trade has hugely surpassed my expectations.
I also expected Carolina to maybe shop Ferland around as a rental, but if Dougie is on the block too... what the hell?
That actually makes sense. That way... hamilton can match the fanbase.

I'm not sure if I've posted this before, but I'd be thrilled if the Flames re-acquired Ferly in exchange for Neal and another player. Then re-sign Ferly. and use the difference in the contract amount for Rittich. I'm not sure if Tre could pick the Canes pockets one more time or not.

No one is going to be willing to take Neal until he starts scoring again.
