I think a case can be made to trade Hamilton if the return makes sense.

Though I also think we should see what the team looks like with another coach first. I would also like to have Fox signed before trading Hamilton. But like Mick says, you can't always get what you want.
I agree. If Ramus and Kylington and Valimaki progress quickly, its not inconceivable to trade one of Gio, Brodie and Hamilton. And Hamilton probably gets the best return.

But you do have to see how the team looks under a new coach, you do have to see how free agency turns out (flames probably a 1-in-5 to 1-in-10 chance of landing tavares).
