I have been as frustrated as everyone when it comes to his play on the ice however trading you Captain who has the full package in terms of on and off the ice for Hamonick is a not a trade the flames consider

If Hamonic is not much of a downgrade from peak Gio (assuming the Brodie comparisons are true) then this might be a very good move for the Flames.
I'd rather have 25 year old Brodie than 31 year old Gio playing like he played last year and then you eliminate the risk of that albatross contract.
That's just me though.
