The NHL Network had Dougie ranked at 18 for the best 20 defensemen in the NHL and Gio wasn't even part of the five names who just missed their list. This year will be quite interesting to see how it plays out.
Quote:
18. Dougie Hamilton, Carolina Hurricanes
Hamilton's 17 goals for the Flames last season were tied for the NHL lead by a defenseman (Hedman, Provorov). He has scored double-digit goals and had at least 42 points (44 in 2017-18) in four consecutive seasons. Traded to the Hurricanes on June 23, the 25-year-old had NHL career highs in power-play goals (six), shots on goal (270) and average ice time (21:32).
