This is wrong on so many levels. Do you realize what it takes to play as a top defender in this league? How many prospects would you be confident in playing over Hamonic ? The answer is 0. It’s very easy to say play this or that rookie instead, but finding guys that can capably play minutes is not an easy thing to do.
Could he be playing better then he is? Yes most definitely. Does he look like a # 5 defenceman? No not at all. The assets we spent on him likely don’t turn into anything as close to the serviceable player that he his.
It is always, and I mean always, better to trade draft picks for a guy that you know can actually play in the league, statistically speaking. Draft picks bust way too often
