I still think Hamilton and Hall are appropriate comparables. Not suggesting the defenseman is a throwaway but a legitimate NHLer.
Of course the Russell situation was different, I was trying to demonstrate value of NHL defensemen. Maybe offer could be a first, conditional first and two marginal prospects.
