Hamilton is playing like he did last year.

Sam is an interesting case cause he's a highly touted pick but the NHL is littered with highly touted picks that never improve much on their rookie years. I get why fans thought we might see drastic improvement in his game but as GM you shouldn't really bank on it, especially since he didn't really improve as the season went on.

Not saying he's done improving overall in his career but his play is hardly an excuse for the GM's case at this point.
