Kane for example will cost a late 2nd rounder, a 4th and an average prospect, if that, if not re-signed. They get him for one playoff run. Hamonic will be here for at most 2 playoff runs and cost much more than that.
One thing about rentals is that you pretty certain to get one post season from them.

The Flames could also trade Hamonic at any time...much more valuable asset than a player for two months. In Kane's case it costs SJ a 1st to sign him as UFA. 30 other teams can sign him without giving up a thing.
Calgary also has the ability to extend Hamonic...to just assume he is here for two more years and takes off is a pretty big assumption.
