The reality is that this is exactly what the player was worth as probably half the league was engaged with Ottawa over the past few years looking to acquire the player and ultimately this is the best deal they could get. He's a good defenseman but it remains to be seen if he can stay healthy or is even elite. The Flames paying the same price for Hamonic is more a reflection of the one of the worst trades in Flames history and has no bearing on Chycrun's worth.
