You get a 21 year old 1st pairing D-man. If you are Carolina, or Philly, or Columbus, you dream that your pic turns out that well.
It seems so bizarre that the only two deals leaked were just a mid-first and two seconds.

It was reported that the Coyotes did not accept the #3 for Hamilton because Maloney was fixated on getting a center in this draft. They countered with their 2016 1st for Hamilton.
Also lots of speculation that the Bruins were unwilling to trade him to an Eastern conference team.
