Not certain, but I think Hamilton was invited to the WCs and passed because of an injury, wasn't he?
Regardless, team selections are the choice of a couple of guys.
Hamilton was 9th in Norris voting. Parayko never garnered a single vote - even from the STL voters.
Parayko is not regarded as highly in the hockey world.
Question: would you trade Hamilton for Parayko straight up?
