Hamonic is a useful player but the price was steep. Those picks should have returned a player who could make more of an impact vs. #4 defenseman. Particularly based on how the Flames seem to use their defensemen.

Flames team D has been outstanding since early December, as has their PK.
That has a lot to do with Hamonic IMO.
They have the 5th ranked PK since December 5th, and have given up the 2nd fewest goals per game (since that same time) with 46 in 23 games. Boston has 45 in 23 games, and Nashville 45 in just 21 games.
Personally I hope they find a way to score more goals without tearing the D core apart, it's doing it's job very well.
