Huge fan of stockpiling draft picks when in a rebuild , however, when was the last time a D of Hamilton's quality and age ( just turned 22)became available and subsequently traded.
Hamilton accelerates the Flames rebuild immensely.

I bet the Coyotes, Leafs, Hurricanes, NJ and Flyers would not have traded their 1st pick for what the Flames sent to Boston for Hamilton.

Would anyone on this forum trade Hamilton for any of the players that were picked 3-7?

I didn't think so.

Absolute grand slam home run!
