Prior to this season, the Calgary Flames acquired a variety of individuals from the Carolina Hurricanes. A deal that traded Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland for Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm didn't make sense at first. But, now it's clear that the Flames came out on top this season; partly because of the success of the deal. The Flames also acquired forward Derek Ryan, a former Hurricane. Coach Bill Peters, who has been credited with having a great season, was also formerly the Hurricanes coach for the past few seasons.
