He's incredibly strong, when they'd go in the corner he'd ram the opposition with his back and just completely push them out of the play. He's our only dman capable of that currently. Two seasons from now there'll be a problem where Hamilton belongs on the first line, if not the next season. His strength in the corners is invaluable to the teams overall puck possession.

I think people forget how young he is...he's from the same draft as Adam Larsson and Jonathon Huberdeau...this is still a developing player!!
He looks to be developing into the best D of his draft class...and I agree, he has #1 upside
