Hamilton, is a top pairing D-man now on most teams, with even more potential to get better over the next 2-3 years, for a former first rounder that has had trouble cracking an NHL lineup after a few years trying (even a deep one), is ludicrous.
Interested to see if people think I have the homer glasses firmly attached here or not.

I agree with this. Perhaps Monahan for Stamkos is fair in a vacuum but with the current situation with the flames (regarding our window to win) I wouldnt make that trade.
