I wouldn't call the Baertschi deal an impact trade, or if I did, probably call it a push.
So of the remaining six deals, I'd go:
Hamilton - check
Elliott - x
Stone - push
Lazar - x
Smith - push
Hamonic - x
Smith was a logical acquisition, but he paid more than he should have IMO. It's disappointing to me that BT was using up assets to have other teams absorb salary in deals. The Flames should not be in such a position at this point IMO.
You could convince me that Elliott was a push, but in the big picture have given up too many picks in the quest for a goalie.
Hamonic was just a flat out overpayment IMO.

Smith cost this team a 3rd round pick and he paid more than he should?
Hickey is not being signed so we can still reacquire him for free in August and Johnson was not retained. From a Yotes perspective they get a 3rd and eat 25% of the salary.
