I haven't been very taken with Hamilton since the trade for him. Part of that is that the Flames are paying him for unrealized potential. I'd feel better about him if his salary was flipped with Brodie's.
Inasmuch as I'm not stoked on him, I think part of Hamilton's problem is that his skill set is a bit redundant on this team. Of all the key cogs in this team, he's the one I'd predict gets traded this season or next. With some luck he'll prove me wrong but, somehow, I don't think he'll ever live up to what he's being paid. I just don't think he's an impact player.
