I don't know if BT would do something like that. That's borderline reckless.
Essentially he would be giving up important draft picks, if not a couple roster players as well, for a defenceman who now ties the Flames hands when deciding which three defencemen to keep.
Imagine trading away picks + a player only to gain Hamonic, then choose whether we want to keep him over Gio, TJ, or Dougie.
EDIT: I didn't take into consideration the second option of protecting players (i.e. 8 skaters). In that case I guess we would protect all 4 Dmen (including Hamonic), JG, Monny, Bennett, and 1 more (Frolik/Backlund/Ferland?)
