That's an elite core.
An elite young core.

This has to be the biggest trade for Calgary in the last decade. Maybe more.

Krug and Hamilton looked like the perfect pair to rebuild around...this is baffling to me.

No trade clauses is why you don't move seidenberg or krejci.
No one will give you anything is why you don't deal chara.

Guess if Hamilton wears 27, those with Baertschi name bars can get them switched now

Considering what they traded for him... I suspect they are fine paying $6 million.

I like Hamilton and think it was a decent deal, but I will admit I was looking forward to having those 4 picks in the top 60.
You can't have it both ways though...

Wikipedia briefly had:
On June 26, 2015, Hamilton was traded to the Calgary Flames by horribly incompetent GM Don Sweeney.

So we have to sign him right away to avoid offer sheets correct? I'm assuming Brad has a nice lucrative contract ready to go.
