Hamilton gets a lot of love on CP. I'm a fan, but I think a lot of the warts in his game are covered by playing with a true #1 dman in Giordano

Caller called in and went to task on Dougie's defensive play and I guess his heart or emotional investment saying he just floats near scrums or lazily skates back on turn overs he created and Lou never went off in agreement but in Lou fashion the fact he agreed with the caller and didn't defend him what so ever speaks volumes. Lou also alluded to the fact that the caller was not alone in feeling that way about Dougie inedia circles. He really didn't defend Dougie at all. Only Flame he really didn't defend.
I agree, if the MO for the Flames is lack of emotional investment you can look at Hamilton as a low hanging fruit on the subject.
Yeah he has elite offensive talent as has been proven but I agree with the caller that you can turn that into similar forward offensive upgrades and allow an Andersson or Fox bloom in the NHL.
