Even if the islanders don't get a lottery pick, the equivalent of: Valimaki, Dube, Anderson and Kylington could easily be his downfall (I understand that I am cherrypicking recent flames draft picks...)

Well you can look at the Hamilton trade and due to Boston’s selecting Senshyn opposed to say Boeser or Barzal it still looks like a steal for Calgary. If Boeser or Barzal were playing for the Bruins putting up the same numbers they are now the Bruins would love the deal especially since McAvoy and Carlo have emerged.
If the Flames make the playoffs and Hamonic has an impact I am okay with the deal even if the Islanders hit the pick out of the park. My problem with the deal is if the islanders somehow get a top 3 pick from Calgary for Hamonic.
