b. I'm sure you watch games.
c. I doubt Hamilton is the next Norris winner. He might be one someday, I guess. But moreover, what's the relevance of that?
d. You seem to know little of the Gilmour deal, since Gilmour had already signed a contract months before. He may well have felt ripped off, but he signed. And yeah, Risebrough knew more than we all did. Fletcher knew more than Risebrough though.
e. Everyone's opinion is moot, unless they have some control or influence on the team.

Actually it was the Flames that felt ripped off, that's why they traded his deal. It was very obvious Fletcher knew more than Risebrough. Seems we keep getting stuck with the Risebrough types.
Hamilton would have to be in the discussion of Norris in the future to justify the trade and picks given up to get him. So far, it's been a bust for the Flames. He's playing ok lately. When Hamilton plays ok the Flames win, when he plays poorly the Flames lose. Kind of like football, if you see a weakness you exploit it if you are the other team.
Everyone's point is not moot? If no one had a point on the Flames, the Flames had better be a very concerned hockey club.
