I don’t understand how the Hamilton trade can be criticized. 1st round picks can be a crapshoot-even in the top 5. We gave up a 1st round pick to get a successful player who had been a 1st round pick. He filled a perceived need. End of story.
If he no longer fills a need for the Flames you trade him, and probably could get at least what the Flames gave up to get him.
