There comes a point where you have to keep your good players and not just keep trading them for picks upon picks just to "sell high". You sold assets to get a guy like Hamilton so that he could play on your team for a decade, not so you can flip him for picks where the players may not end up any better than him. We need to win hockey games, not trades.
