At least at this point there is hope that Hamilton could become more impactful than he has been the last two seasons and give Tkachuck a run for his money as second most important player. Trading him for Stone is about the silliest thing management could do...

Unsurprisingly, Monahan gets no credit from a huge number of posters, but he is one of the two best forwards on the team, and is still a better player than Matthew Tkachuk. Someday, that may change, but that day has not yet come.
