The crux of it is if you like Hanifin and don’t think Hamilton is an elite no 1 D, then you probably love the trade. If you are worried about Hanifin being tapped out (because right now he isn’t very good) and believe Hamilton is an elite no 1 defence men then you probably don’t love the trade but take solace in the fact that you got Lindholm on a beauty contract

You have to ignore the first paragraph because you don’t want to own the statement you made. Hamilton just isn’t a front runner. And when you were challenged on that statement all you did was cite “all hockey writers”.
You also still don’t get the point i was making, which was saying “contender” isn’t saying a whole lot. I can name 6 guys who are “contenders’ even in the sense that they could be a top vote getter (not to mention that it’s foolish to say that on Dec. 8 anyway).
