Seriously?
Dougie Hamilton is Calgary's #3 at 23 years old. 23! He would be a top 4 on pretty much any team in the league. None of the 3 Bruins picks from Calgary have yet to play a single NHL game (and let's not assume they would have picked homerun picks with these 3 picks). Hamilton is also on pace for another 40+ point season as a defenseman, with limited Power play time. He has his personal best in points despite a poor start to the year
How in the world can you call that trade a bust by any measure? He may have been underperforming compared to expectations, but in no way does that make that trade a bust.
