Hamilton is playing 5th most minutes among our defensemen last I checked. If he was good enough to be a top pairing guy right now, Hartley should be fired.

Well he was top pairing for the Bruins last season. This season he's behind Gio and Brodie on the depth chart but that's it IMO. Most teams don't have a Gio and Brodie quality first pairing. Anyways, we could argue about that all day.
Can I assume then that you would trade Dougie Hamilton for Drouin straight across? Sorry if you already addressed that in your previous post I can't remember.
