Do you personally have higher or lower exceptions for this Hamilton-less edition of the Flames?

Higher expectations. But that does not in any way preclude my firm belief that Hamilton is an excellent defenseman. So good, that the Carolina Hurricanes moved TWO young, core pieces to acquire him. Also, the myopic focus on just this trade virtually ignores the many other changes made in the offseason which I believe will make a big impact in the long run, and leave the team demonstrably improved.
