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.
At 24 Gio was just beginning to have Gio level of compete, after coming back from Russia. But then some guys never get it. Hamilton has the tools, and a trade would be regretted I bet.
