Instead of paying the price for a quality player, they cheaped out and didn't get the good player. Now they will only be able to get an okay player. Hamonic is a decent #3/4, which would be a possible piece for RNH, but he isn't a potential #1.
Oilers going to Oil.
If the Flames had McDavid, RNH, and Draisaitl down the middle and needed a D-man as badly as Edmonton does, I would be fine with using one of those guys in a deal. RNH works easily as a 2nd line C, not so much as a 3rd line C.
Just like last year with Hamilton and Reinhart, they didn't pay for the quality asset and spent almost the same amount on an inferior guy.
