The one thing that kills me is that overpayment for Hamonic.
So you're willing to spend a 1st and two 2nd round picks on a #3/#4 defenceman - but you're not willing to spend that/less than that on Mark Stone or Taylor Hall?
I know Hamonic's contract held value over what Stone/Hall's UFA deals are/will be - but we're clearly discussing different tiers of players here. I think Tree just fell in love with a player and then got sucked into a bidding war...and I think he did it for the wrong player at the wrong time.
