Jay Bouwmeester was a pretty good defensemen overall. Rarely gets injured, plays big minutes and is solid defensively. His issue is that he had a very weak shot from the point and offensively never lived up to his draft billing of being the next Lidstrom. Hamilton has already exceeded anything Bouwmeester has done offensively so it appears to me Hamilton has a much higher ceiling and it's just a matter of him maturing into a better defensive player which should come with time.
