The comparisons to Bouwmeester are missing the biggest point.
Bouwmeester was the best defenseman on a terrible team and never made the playoffs. Hamilton played an important role on a great Bruins team. He got 7 points in 12 playoff games as a 20 year old for cripes sake.
The reason he sucks here is the completely opposite system from what he was used to. That is to say, for a defenseman there is no system here. The kid has no clue where he's supposed to be and that wasn't a problem in Boston
