It's pretty clear that fans and the analytics community value Hamilton much higher than NHL GMs do. We can also see that in the Simmonds+ for Hamilton rumours, since I would have thought Hamilton had much more value than any of these rumoured deals imply.
I don't think anyone is going to deny that. But the mark of a good GM when it comes to trading is identifying inefficiencies / misvaluations in the marketplace. The professional hockey community is far from perfect. That's what we are discussing.
