The more I read about Hamilton the more I believe the problem was one of two things:
1) Compete level and intensity. Aka JayBo. Does anyone believe Hamilton had the same intensity or compete as Johnny, Monahan, tkachuk, backlund or gio? Just as much talent though, maybe more.
2) Willingness to get better at defensive side of game. Aka phaneuf.
Both the above players (JayBo and Dion) were traded and wore out their welcome. And both players ultimately failed to ever reach their potential. I'd say both had good careers but both disappointed. Talent only takes you so far. The best players have an elite mix of talent, compete level and dedication to the craft.
