I think he needs more time to adjust to being a Flame and was thrust into the top pairing with a rusty Gio plus he's only 22. When Brodie returns, it would be nice to see Hamilton paired with Russell and Wideman moved to the bottom pairing with Smid + powerplay time.
I recall Hrudey saying last night that Weber and Josi didn't click at first either but they sure as heck do now.
