Pretty much of a glass house when critiquing the Edmonton management style of awarding long-term contracts based on potential.
Be interesting what Seth Jones and Ryan Murray (RFAs) both picked for this team over Hamilton will get.
Trouba and Lindholm agents are rumored to be using Hamilton's contract as the minimum for what these guys are worth. Will Trouba be picked to team u-24? Will he get paid more or less than Hamilton?

Hamilton will be in the discussion to make that team. There could be any number of reasons that he wasn't selected top four. All of the guys you listed including Reilly and Hamilton are comparable excellent young 2 way d-men with top pairing potential/are already top pairing.
