I absolutely LOVE the player. Mean and nasty to play against, can skate and can move the puck...everything you want a shutdown guy to be able to do.

Absolutely hate the price however. There is a major void of picks moving forward which means that the Flames are out of currency to address any issues left of which there are more than a couple.

a 1st and 2 2nds for a number 4 defenseman is exorbitant in any scenario but even moreso when there are other needs that have not been solved. This club has to find another source of offense as even before this deal they were pretty good defensively.

Absolutely stoked about having Hamonic patrolling the blueline though....no question that part is awesome.
