Yeah that trade in particular was crippling as Hamonic has been an average middle pairing defenseman at best and in retrospect not a good enough player to warrant a 1st round pick in return let alone what the Flames gave up. There's little doubt the prospect base would look considerably better with prospects of the caliber of a 1st and two 2nd round picks but when a GM is as active in the trade market as Treliving is there's bound to be a few stinkers.
