This season Hamonic has brought something that is in somewhat short supply with the Flames d core, and that's being a steady rock in his own zone (not demonstrated on yesterday's goal however, ha). Outside of Gio, none of the other dmen are as strong in that aspect.

I'd rather have that type of guy, than another forward on a team that is already doing pretty well on that front. Especially in the playoffs. It's always why I'd hesitate to trade Stone (even if he was healthy).
