You picked 2 of the 7-8 bad picks out of the 2013 1st round. Flames traded for one more out of that class.

A known quantity top 4 defenceman is a good result from the middle of the first round onward. Hamonic is, IMO, the Flames third best overall defenceman, and has played a good shutdown role since at least the quarter mark this year. He's very underrated on this forum.
