ps. I'm not a Jay's fan, just pointing out what everyone else is thinking about this trade. Notice the joke I made about the Leafs :winkwink

You are missing the point. Players like you mentioned are not available for any money. They are signed. The FA class this year is weak (I wouldnt sign Hamilton). This was a way to improve quickly without sacrificing much off the current roster. Improving via FA is not an option this year. Its as simple as that.
