As I've said in other threads, I believe that Hamilton is the WORST of our current Flames defensemen right now. He just isn't showing the defensive IQ required to play defense in the NHL.
While I agree that he's young and needs time to blossom, and will likely be a top pairing D-man for the Flames one day, he certainly is not worthy of playing top pairing minutes with Gio right now. Get him down on the 3rd pairing until he figures himself out.
