Some people (no one in specific) need to wake up. The entire team has been bad, even Gio. Monahan hasn't been that great and neither has...well anyone except Johnny. Sure Hamilton is getting paid a fair amount but he's also getting paid for potential. He's good and he's going to get better. His contract may look bad (to some, not everyone) now but I'm sure it's going to look amazing in a couple of years. I still think he's a franchise D in a couple of years.

I agree. He looked horrible on Oshie's goal. But aside from that he's been about the same level of bad as Gio, Russell and Wideman, all of whom have had bad starts overall, and incredibly boneheaded moments.
He's had one half and 2 full seasons. He's about at the same point when both Iginla and Regehr really struggled IIRC, but then both of those guys really figured it out. Combined with a different system, different patrner and different role, he needs some time. Obviously he has some weak areas as faras decision making and physical platy, but even with his problems he's obviously got a good skill set.
