Carolina partnered with the Flames to do just that
The Hurricanes, emboldened by new owner Tom Dundon, entered the 2018 NHL Draft hoping to shake up a roster thatfinished well below expectations in 2017-18. In the waning rounds Saturday, Carolina partnered with the Flames to do just that, acquiringdefenseman Dougie Hamilton in a five-player blockbusterthat Trevor Knight Jersey shook up a stagnant draft floor, the teams announced.The deal also involves disgruntled restricted free agentEliasLindholmand defenseman NoahHanifin, two No. 5 overall draft picks (in 2013 and 2015, respectively) who areheaded to Calgary. NHL DRAFT 2018: | | Forward MichaelFerlandand top prospect Adam Fox are the two other players going to the Hurricanes. TRADE: To Calgary : Elias Lindholm (F) Noah Hanifin (D) To Carolina : Dougie Hamilton (D) Michael Ferland (F) Adam Fox (D) CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) News of the trade was first reported by TSN’s Bob McKenzie. Hamilton, 25, is the main piece in Brandon Yates Jersey the trade. He was also involvedin a draft-day blockbuster in Deonce Elliott Jersey 2015 when the Bruins sent him to the Flames for draft picks, including No. 15 overall.The six-year NHL veteran hadat least 40 points in each of his three seasons in Calgary, and his inclusion in this deal is puzzling. That the Hurricanes also acquiredFerland, coming off a career season with 21 goals, and Fox, a third-round pick in 2016 who has developed into a blue-chip defense prospect, was a bonus and gave Carolina an early edge among pundits. Lindholm, 23, is a restrictedfree agent whose negotiationswith Carolina reportedly had turned contentious in recent days. He’s coming off a 16-goal, 44-point season but has underwhelmed relative to his draft billing, with 188 points in 374 games acro s parts of five seasons with the Hurricanes. Hanifin, 21, had his Isaah Crocker Jersey best season as a proin 2017-18 with 10 goals and 32 pointsbut had become the subject of trade rumors this offseason as an odd-man out in Carolina’s crowded blue line. For the Flames, it’s Toren Young Jersey hard to see an upgrade. Lindholmhasn’t materialized into a top-flight point producer, and Calgary already has Sean Monahan and MikaelBacklund in its top six. The Flames need scoring help on the wing. The price of Hamilton, Ferland and Fox doesn’t make sense. Hanifinprojects as a top-pair defenseman, but why pay up when the Flames already had one of the NHL’s best?
