If we plunk Hamilton as 2nd pairing, 2nd PP, is that a) maximizing his talent b) going to demotivate? If you put him in Brodie's spot, does Brodie's motivation or play decrease?
It's a great problem to have, but I wonder how it plays out

In terms of PP ice time per game average Brodie was actually 4th for the Flames on the backend.
Giordano - 3:10/per game
Wideman - 3:05
Russell - 2:25
Brodie - 2:11
Bruins
Tony Krug - 2:37/per game
Bougie Hamilton - 2:30
Zdeno Chara - 2:05
Hopefully Hamilton can outright replace Russell allowing him to lean back on his minutes to have more energy for 5on5 and PK.
