Sure but he gave up a lot for it and there were understandably a lot of people doubting it. His metrics with the islanders the previous year were atrocious. Hamonic isn’t a bad player but he isn’t three high draft picks good. That trade has set the depth of prospect pool back considerably. Far as I’m concerned it was a premature trade, this team wasn’t ready to make the next step at that point and the fact that his contract is running out and we still haven’t won a playoff series is a pretty big indictment.
