The Hamilton trade is the steal of the offseason. Trelving went out and added the exact player we needed to add to our core. The Flames have 2 centers from the 2013 and 2014 draft that have elite potential (heck Monahan is already there). Gaudreau has the makings of an elite winger. While Brodie is already a top tier guy at 25 getting Hamilton who has franchise potential for a mid first and 2 mid seconds was insane
Frolik also was a very nice pickup and is a utility player that hopefully can top 50pts next year.
Depending on the Flames moves I thought we were due for regression but after the additions of Hamilton, and Frolik (adding a full year of Bennett and healthy Gio) I think the Flames are going to be a very good team and a playoff team for sure
