After 33 games I think its unfair to judge. Ultimately though I think the trade made sense in that we got a player that brought an element to our blue-line that was needed, solidified our top 4, and was under contract for 3 seasons at the prime of his career at a very affordable cap hit.
The rest of the deal kind of needs to play itself out. Will the first we gave up be a high pick? Will Hamonic be a big part of the teams success over the next 3 seasons? It really could go either way. Or it could work out well for both teams. It's all a calculated risk and I think the team liked the player and he fit with their window to try and win. The first ultimately is a gamble. It could be a core piece or it could be absolutely nothing.
