With this Hamilton deal, what we have up front the next three seasons, and the emergence of Brodie/Russell, it looks like the Flames just became a very serious contender. I think they still throw a pile of money at Gio, and deal with the consequences later. This Hamilton trade just made the Flames a serious contender if we retain Gio, and they might as well chase it while they have the young 3 superstars up front on the cheap.

What better combo could you ask for. A young, skill based, talented, hungry forward core, with a veteran, ultra reliable, puck moving blue-line. There will be no cinderella story next year. This trade totally changes the perception of what the Flames are now, and there will be much higher expectations.
