Is that what we signed him for, the sun and the moon? Seems Boston offered essentially what we offered, and Hamilton didn't want to sign. That could be just as instructive about the Boston organization as it is about Dougie Hamilton the player.
With regards to the overall topic: Hamilton's play to start the season has been concerning, as has the play of nearly every single one of his teammates. Hamilton was brought in not to be a Norris trophy contending player from day one, he was brought in to be a key piece of a group of players that will mature and grow together into a great team. Nothing that's happened this season has changed that.
