I think if his value is as high as it was when we acquired him, then we should trade him. We apparently have all these great individual defensemen, but the sum of the parts seems to have net negative returns.
It's not so much that I hate Hamilton, but I like Brodie better in the long term and I don't think anyone is taking Giordano at his contract. Hamilton is the guy that I think is least needed but still garners a decent return. Much more time on this team though, I think his value will drop.
I wasn't a huge fan of the acquisition to begin with as I didn't see a gentle-giant offensive defenseman as our biggest need at the time.
