The fact that when reversed you (after missing the point) were upset and questioned my ability to judge talent as that is the feeling when people make the ridiculous proposals in our favor that most people should have.

I get you were trying to make a point but the example you used is so off base it comes across as a gross overrating of Hamonic which this thread is full of. This thread has both ends of the spectrum. One where fans wouldn't consider moving any core players out and others that think we would be trading for an elite player so we better give up our captain or 22 year old Dman we were gushing over all summer.
Russell is a 30+pt Dman that has logged 23+ minutes the past few years and is 28. Hudler averages roughly 50pts a season and spiked with 76 last year. Klimchuck is an average prospect but still a 20 year old first year pro and former first round pick. Due to contract status of the 2 Flames vets it doesn't make sense to trade a solid 2-4 Dman with good term and money left on his deal. I think it is an unrealistic proposal but by no means do I think it is so insulting to claim that offer should be made for a Dman that made the team off a PTO.
