simple question: What team would pick up Hamilton if he was put on waivers?

for instance the Penguins are right up against the cap. The only way they can add Hamilton is to send the Flames MAF and sending DUMOULIN or Cole or Justin Schulltz to the minors or to the Flames. They would need the extra 1M of cap relief to bring in a backup goalie for Murray.

The Yotes have 5.1 M in cap with the Pronger Bolland 7.4M LTIR . They also have OEL, Goligoski, Murphy and Stone as their top 4. Hamilton would be in the mix with Schenn and Chychrun for the 5/7 spot.and would be their highest paid d-man. I could not see Tippett giving Hamilton any more ice time.

There would be a very short list which would quickly establish that any trade would be termed as a salary dump.
