Oilers faced a similar situation with John Marino, getting a 6th rounder from Pittsburg. Right now, that trade is looking pretty lopsided.

I would think Calgary didn't like having to make that trade. Gave up 2 Dmen better than the one they gòt in return and gave up some toughness in Ferland. I like that player.
Lindholm has fit in well but a stud Dman like Fox is an extremely valuable asset. I'd venture Flames really didn't want to lose him because most folks that follow the game closely had him pegged.
Marino's a meh with Jones, Bouchard, and Broberg in the wings and Bear looking like a very strong asset for the future.
