The Oilers spent a 1st and a 2nd on a 21 year old who has only played 8 games. Flames spent an additional 2nd on a 22 year old who is steadily a 2nd pairing guy at the moment. Have little doubt Hamilton is going to be a top pairing guy, along with Brodie, on this team for many years.
Looking more settled and less flustered each and every game. Love his shot, both wrist and slap, and his ability to carry the puck or join the rush. Outlet passing needs work, still forcing things there.
