Hamilton is very likely to be a stud for years. Talbot is far less certain.
Plus, as FTW said, we have several good goalie prospects. Getting a player like Hamilton is much, much harder.

Well it's really kind of irrelevant. I just don't care for the argument that because of the Hamilton trade, Treliving's hands were tied in acquiring more than a stop gap goalie. He has sent both $'s and picks with his current approach so let's judge the results with Smith now.
