This is definitely a true statement.
Given what the Flames problems were (and were known to be last summer) it is interesting that a 50-60 point center/winger was available for what probably could have been the 2018 1st and Brouwer. Instead we spent more assets and got Hamonic. Unless BT did not know that Schenn was on the market, getting Hamonic for more assets than it would have taken to get Schenn was an inferior move to grabbing Schenn in the summer and looks even worse now.
The Hamonic trade could end up looking decent if they make the playoffs and win a round or two. I personally would have been sniffing around Schenn myself, given the Flames inability to score at an elite level last season.
