What we paid for Hamilton is irrelevant. This deal is also nothing like the Hamilton deal. You're assuming we are getting a 1st for Russell, which is not a certainty. As well, we are dealing an asset in Klimchuk that is kind of buried in our system, so the loss there is greatly minimized. We are also including a found asset acquired from moving Hudler. So this deal would break down to us sending out a lost asset in Russell, a found asset in the 2nd from the Hudler deal, and Klimchuk. We really aren't giving up much to get a player with top line potential, something sorely lacking in our system. So yeah, I do this deal and don't give Dallas a chance to think it over.
