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.

...Nope. You'll not bring me down. You would think 'Cartman in a Flames jersey' would tip more people off.
