treliving has described draft picks as currency. You use that in a number of ways. Early on he collected it, now he's spending it. Seems to make sense if your intent is to compete for/in the playoffs. At some point you push some of your chips in. Unfortunately part of the gig for a GM is risk. The Flames felt they needed to add a D to take the next step, and it came at a price. I'll ask an honest question, who else was available? What other top 4 D was on the market, in their prime and on the deal Hamonic is on? Was there any (I don't recall)? Trouba? Would Winnipeg even trade him in conference??
Harmonic/Brodie seem to be getting better. I also have faith this team is better than what we have seen so far. We haven't seen them put it all together yet, and I think we will. At the end of the day, I think this is a playoff team. The results so far are a little disappointing, but now we're past Christmas I think they will find some consistency and another gear. Guess I'm an optimist.
