Really?
I mean, I was thinking along the same lines except that the Flames are strong and deep up front but badly needed to shore up the back-end and Hamilton is a foundational, core player as well, you usually dont land one of them without giving one up.
The fact that Monahan/Gaudreau/Bennett are core players was exactly why I thought one of them would go. I never considered Brodie because it wouldnt make any sense to give up an established DMan in exchange for Hamilton because it would be treading water at best.
