Since when are Brodie, Hamilton, or Jokipakka prospects? One is arguably a top ten, even top five defenseman in the world, another was 22nd in league scoring at age 22, and another is already an established top six defender.

There are a bunch of 2015 and 2106 1st and 2nd round picks that were picked before Anderssen and Kylington and Fox that the same evaluation would be done by someone with their teams homer glasses.

...And? As is the norm, you go off on an unrelated tangent.

Point #2 You are basically saying that the Flames made a huge mistake in Gio's and Hamilton's contracts... in 2 years there is a chance that we have a bottom pairing defense of Gio-Hamilton with a cap hit of 12.5M

What? I said.. none of those things whatsoever. I said
-Giordano will be a top four two-way, elite offensively producing defenseman for the entirety of his contract which, combined with his status as team captain, is a player well worth his cap hit as the cap continues to rise.
-Hamilton will be anywhere between an elite two-way top pair defenseman to a top four two-way, high offensively producing defenseman.

This is based on Kylington skipping a grade as 16 year old in Sweden and then having a lackluster next 2 seasons. I am pretty certain that his 12 pt AHL -15 season has not put him on the fast track of anyone else's organization rating.

And there's yet another tangent. A typically half-informed one, but that's nothing new.
