I don’t believe in ‘untouchables’, but if Tkachuk and Gaudreau are on that kind of list then so is Hamilton. Any player is tradeable but the only way it happens is if you get another teams ‘untouchable’.
And I could care less what’s going on with how they’re playing right now. Teams clearly given up, and it goes throughout the whole team. Coach needs to go, plain as day now.
And to your last blurb, I was pointing out how laughable comparing him to Pronger is, and how unrealistic an expectation for any defensemen that would be. Comprehension.

Well said, a year ago i was furious with how poor Hamilton played against Anaheim in the playoffs and he still has his warts in his own zone that Gio covers up, but to trade him now with the way him and Gio play is crazy. Imagine Hamilton with a coach that plays a quicker transition game creating odd man rushes. Along with first PP minutes all year, he will score 25-30 goals from the back end.
