You said the guy would have to play better than he did for the Islanders. Not seeing where you said he had played badly. I credit you that you call him a 4th defenceman. As I say I didn't see enough Islanders games to know the player. The poster who says Treliving thought he was getting a Tanev is likely correct. But between injuries and getting his face caved in by Gudbransson, Hamonic did lose some of his heart and soul as a Flame and now hangs onto a roster spot in the league. You could argue that trading a package like that for Tanev may not be worth it either, especially for a team who had not established themselves as a top 10 team.
Criticizing the behavior of the Flames to send out picks for immediate help and to do so for guys who don't stand out as game changers is fair. We will see if Conroy can make any progress in addressing that.
