Nice try, but not remotely comparable.

Saying the Flames needed a defenseman and saying they had to trade two 2nds and a first for Travis Hamonic are two entirely different things
True. But the going price for a #4 defenceman is not low, and if you're going to say there was a better deal out there to be made, the onus is on you to demonstrate that.

I guess you're saying that since the Flames need a winger you are going to praise whatever UFA they may pick up, no matter the deal.
No, but if the Flames pick up a useful UFA winger at the going price, I'll at least be intelligent enough to know that I have no grounds for complaint.

If you want to maintain that there was a better alternative, you should at least be able to describe what that alternative might have been.
