Hoping Dougie can find that gear in the next few seasons, just not sure if it can be learned or if it is ingrained. If it is something that can't really be learned should we adjust expectations? I don't know the answer.
Just how much of that story about mccrimmon and regehr comes down to personality traits, or if you put him in a cage and poked him long enough, would he adopt that personality?
It would be a mistake to move Hamilton imo.

Hamilton would be really good on a team that was had a full complement of over the top leaders.... 2004 Flames for instance ( not near as much talent but at least 6-7 guys with at least Gio level compete) He could play the Jordan Leopold role on that team.
How much better did Russell-Wideman-Brodie-Engelland play at the end of 2015 than this team's defense. They were not as talented.
