Hamilton is not as good as fans here believe, his defensive play is atrocious and this is evident by the flames coaches pairing him with Giordano to insulate him. Every game Gio is bailing Hamilton out, most times everything works out because Gio is that good.
Hamilton is a bigger and better skating Dennis Wideman. I don't think the Flames lose much replacing Hamilton with Andersson. Anyone of the right shot defenseman could play with Gio and become a top pairing guy. The one constant in all that advanced stats crap is Gio, not the partner, whether it is Brodie or Hamilton or Andersson or Hamonic or Stone.

Wow. Some 'interesting' thoughts here. Wild leaps of logic. Love it.
What GM would trade a top 5 pick for Dougie? Honestly, think about it. No one would do that. very few things are worth a top 5 pick in today's NHL.
