Even with the lower PP time Brodie had 11 pp points and Hamilton had 12. Hamilton with 31 minutes extra PP time was involved in 1 more goal!!!!
If I was using your non-fact based stats I could have said that Brodie Had 23 pp points..... but there is this thing called the internet that gives access to the actual stats.
The actual facts do not support the assumption that Hamilton was a cure for the Flames PP or that he earned more PP time.

Is that PP1 time or overall PP time? I think there is a pretty significant difference between playing on PP1 and PP2.
If it is PP1 time, what percentage of Hamilton’s time came during the period when the entire PP went cold? The last 20 games or so the Flames’ PP cooked along at a 2% rate and was actually outscored by opposing teams’ PKs.
You could look at the last 20 games as Hamilton’s fault if he was on PP1 during that time, but I think it would be oversimplifying it to say that. It was more likely a whole team issue, which no single player can make up for.
What we do know is that Dougie Hamilton is 4th in P/60 at 5v5 over the last 3 seasons behind Karlsson, Burns and Hedman. I really doubt that, if you give that kind of a talent a full season on
PP1, Hamilton will not score a ton of points.
