Our prospect pool is not bad as-is, and it's time this team starts to compete. Just like how LA made their big moves to push them over the top, our time is near.
That said - I would be surprised to see Tree deal two 1st round picks, but if he does it won't take me much to get on board, the hope would have to be that something additional is coming back (a 2nd or something)

Yeah, that's essentially my line of thinking as well. A prospect pipeline is great to have, but Hamonic would essentially be a fully developed prospect ready to step into a top 4 role on a great value deal with 3 years remaining on said deal.
That's why his value is expected to be higher than normal, it's a pretty unique scenario, most teams wouldn't be entertaining trading a player like that. He wants to play near home, I think Treliving wants to capitalize on that..
