Almost. And just right now. Just.

He is tied at 18-21 of the highest paid d-men in a 30 team league.
There are no Defensemen being paid for RFA years ahead of him. He is the Highest paid D-man in the league with RFA years in their contracts.
The #61 defenseman salary cap this season is 4.25. That is what the absolute best #3 d-man in the league should be getting paid.
It seems that the Flames have to paid a premium of at least 1.5M-2M for Hamilton
Hamilton's contract is so incredibly bad for what he has delivered to date it has upset the Flames structure.... Gaudreau/Gio are only geting paid 1M more than him!!! Monahan is only getting paid 600K more.
Nobody could possibly argue that Hamilton is anywhere close to the quality of player as Gio/Gaudreau or Monahan.
He is making Engelland's 2.9M look like a good contract.

It's worth considering why the team that knew him best let him go for picks when it was time to pay him big money.

Are you some sort of history revisionist?
