Flames deal Hamilton, Ferland and a prospect to Hurricanes for Lindholm, Hanifin
DALLAS — The Calgary Flames made a splash at the NHL draft Saturday, dealing star defenceman Dougie Hamilton to the Carolina Hurricanes in a five-player trade.
Along with Hamilton, the Flames shipped forward Micheal Ferland and blue line prospect Adam Fox to the Hurricanes in exchange for forward Elias Lindholm and defenceman Noah Hanifin.
“Elias and Noah, they’re going to fit right in,” Calgary general manager Brad Treliving said. “They’re good teammates. Part of when we look at this is making sure we have a good chemistry and a good mix in our dressing room.
“Both guys were real excited.”
