So Hartley the coach of the year needs advice on Hamilton apparently. I guess him playing
Him the 5th most is just Hartley being a terrible coach. Or maybe he sees he's really struggling and wants to lighten his load.
Hamilton has improved since the beginning of the year but he's playing the easiest minutes on the team and still playing soft.
As bad as Gio has been right now I'd put Brodie, Gio, and yes even Engelland ahead of Hamilton and Russell is really struggling so that puts Hamilton 4th and that can change when Russel plays better. Hamilton can play better too but it's happening at a very slow pace and he is still making criticial mistakes.
I just think it's straight homerism when people can sit there and say Hamilton has been the second best defenceman this year. That's what Oiler fans have done for 10 years. Hamilton has been terrible this season to average. He's had maybe two above average games all season.
