Hamilton is a very good. But elite? Not yet. Elite is Doughty, Hedman, Subban, Karlsson. Legit game breakers on the back end who are also perrenial Norris nominees.
Hamilton has one single top 9 Norris finish, and no all-star selection.
Doughty has 8 top 10 Norris finishes (including a Norris and another 3 more nominations) and 3 all-star selections.
I love Dougie Hamilton on the flames and think Doughty is a tool, but one is elite and one is not.
Hamilton has the tool set and time on his side but he doesn't belong in the 'elite' conversation.
