What the Flames gave up for Hamonic could have landed Mark Stone on a 7.8 x 4 offer sheet... or Trouba or Hannifin or Nylander
Hamonic is not elite (even on the Flames) and being selected to Team Canada would be a long shot.

I don't disagree that Hamonic was an overpayment for a "non-elite" talent.
But your logic on the offer sheet is false because there is no chance those teams would not match that offer and take only a 1st and 2 2nds.
Plus you are also then spending about double what we are paying Hamonic on his contract and that extra cap space holds value too.
