Not yet, but so much depends on where "we" draft this year. It could well end up being more costly overall than the Brouwer deal. Hamonic may be better than Brouwer but he's not exactly an impact player himself. There's a reason we're more concerned about Bartkowski in than about Hamonic out right now.

Second, it's not fair to judge the trade based on who the other team selected as we have no eveidence to suggest that's the same player the Flames would have picked.
It's very fair to judge a single-season over-30 rental vs a high draft pick (#35 overall). It's very common for at least a few good players to be available at #35 overall, as well.

This was actually one of Tre's few good moves that weren't executed by the amateur scouting staff.
