As much as some of us like to Condemn the Hamonic trade today. The reason the Flames paid that hefty price was because at the time Hamonic was still pretty young and he was thought to be on a high value contract.
Outside of signing England which I will always say proved to be one of his best free agent signings, he's generally been after defenceman who are 26 and younger.
Oddly enough Jason Gregor here in Edmonton used to always go on about how good Hamonic was and why the Oilers should trade for him. He used to do the same with Ekman-Larsson. That alone gives me trepidation on the player.
