I wasn't really paying attention to the draft last year, but why didn't Treliving just use the 2017 1st rounder to grab Hamonic? Wouldn't it have been easier to trade a pick that you already knew had its position? Did he just simply forecast that we'd have a 20's pick in 2018? I feel like he should have just traded the 2017 pick just in case we didn't have the best season (which we did).
This trade still doesn't bother me regardless. Hamonic is still a solid player and is still on a solid contract. It's a good trade whether people like it or not. Treliving was just rather careless when it came to trading a future draft pick that can very well change if you do not make the playoffs. He should have made it conditional if anything.
