It's weird to think about how everything else would have played out then.

That was my hope heading into draft day, Hamilton for Tkachuk deal. If it was there for the taking would you rather have that than the deal we made?

This would have been a horrible trade as you'd be paying that sky high price to get a top ten pick so you'd be reversing what a Hamilton/Tkachuk trade should look like.
It should be Hamilton for Brady +, but it would have been Hamilton + for Brady, who's stats point to a less offensive version of Matthew.
It would have been the epitome of a GM falling in love with a player and paying whatever it takes to get him.
