I feel so bad for Gaudreau and Monahan who have to waste away their careers until UFA

If you feel that he is, then this is a bad trade.
I do not. I think he has the potential to be, but needs to get a lot better defensively before he earns that moniker.
Hanifin is not yet either. And is further away at the moment. But he has at least as good of a chance of becoming a franchise D as Hamilton does, IMO.
