Giving up three high picks for Hamonic who had only 1 good season as a Flames d-man is a bad move.

Everything about it was off. Hammer was established - he was what he was. At that stage of the build, who spend three prime assets on a depth defenceman? I think he sucked into a bidding war/was guilty of falling in love with a player on paper.
I'd put it right alongside Neal and Brouwer, but it's not as bad in my eyes because at least Hammer is an absolutely excellent dude off the ice and bled Flaming red for us. We never got that level of commitment from those two bums.
It is definitely his worst trade, and honestly why I think he's a bit gun-shy when it comes to significant trades now.
