From what I've been told the Flames were in on Jones and also had a deal to move Hiller to the Sharks.
When the Bruins moved Jones to SJ it both took the Flames out of that deal, and took away their landing spot for Hiller. Which then created the 3 goalie monster.
Hamonic will be fine is a part of the core moving forward. Not a great deal but not as horrible as being made of
Lazar isn't looking great but it was a 2nd. He still will be better than most 2nds.
The prospect pool isn't bad as has been highlighted elsewhere
Other good moves
- Moving Russel for a nice haul
- Moving Glencross
- Walking away from Joe Colborne's arbitration deal
- Signing Versteeg
- Patrick Sieloff for Chiasson
- Hudler deal
- Re-signing Monanah and Johnny to pretty cap friendly deals
- getting Jankowski signed coming out of college

Some other moves:
Engelland signing -- good
Handling of the expansion draft -- good
Gawdin signing -- good
Foo signing -- hasn't paid off yet, but no risk, so good
Raymond signing -- bad
Bouma signing -- bad
admitting mistakes and buying out both Bouma and Raymond -- good
Jagr signing -- good, even though it didn't work out
