Even 1 year into a young defenceman's 6 year contract is premature to judge if he's worth the money.
6 games is... something.
EDIT: Contract aside, give him time. Hedman broke out at 22 after 4 years in the league, he wasn't amazing before that. Hamilton has played 2.5 seasons and is also just 22. New teams and new systems (and a team that is playing horribly) is hard for any defenceman. Worse for a kid.
