Would I like to see him be meaner? Yes, obviously, but even without that, he's still an incredible defenseman.
Honestly if he was 6'1" he'd probably do better imo, he seems to get tangled up with himself a lot.
And for anyone who wants big, skilled, and mean, keep your eyes out for Nic Hague. The guy has been terrorizing the OHL this year and I think he'll be a threat on the VGK blueline for a very long time.

By 6'1" you mean 5'9" 186 lbs then you might mean the guy that took over Hamilton's role in Boston Torey Krug.
More pts (55) than Hamilton(43), 2 less goals, does the same amount of hitting, plays the same ice time (no significant PK time) and is paired with a 21 year old 2nd round pick. ie looks after Carlo rather than being looked after by Gio. Krug is 26,
You are right there is very little disrespect for Krug.
Krug is 2 years older than Hamilton and .5 M/year cheaper cap hit.
