    I think “losing” Hjalmarsson was a very smart move.  His play was falling off, lots of hard minutes for the guy.  He has been either injured or bad this season for Arizona.  I think they sold high on him and got a good return.  I think Hammer, and he was my favorite player, is definitely trending downward.  People think of Hammer in terms of the healthy, peak Hammer.  And he isnt that guy anymore. Yes, Murphy is a big downgrade from Peak Hammer.  But Peak Hammer is long gone.  It was a smart trade.   You were not getting another season of Peak Hammer. Ever.   An apt metaphor for this team.  Past the peak.

    800K is totally worth it.  🙂   6.8M is not…
