Wait, Hamilton "wasn't working out" in Calgary? That's absurd to say. He was one of the better defensemen in the league in his second and third years here.
The Flames traded him to try and address their issues up front and they took a gamble on Hanifin being able to replace him. They paid a pretty huge price to do it. The Flames did well in that deal but let's not act like they didn't give up two tremendous defensemen (and, yes, I know Fox wasn't going to sign, but he still had big trade value).
