Its been said many times that while Engelland/Bollig are "expensive" that was a known and accepted cost because of the intangibles they bring to a young team... this wasn't just backpedaling, it was made the day of the transaction. Considering cap space doesn't matter until next season (and we'll see how pinched we are next season) I don't see either of them as a big deal.
I think its crazy people actually consider Hamilton a bad deal.
He made a few small transactions that did pay off, like David Schlemko.
I know he cleared, but the whole three headed goaltending monster is his worst mistake, IMO.
