Hamilton's usage in Carolina is weird to me.
He's playing top pairing minutes with Slavin at ES but he isn't their top PP option for RH shot (Faulk), and he isn't used at all on the PK (Pesce gets most of the RH minutes).
Just seems so rare to have a top pairing d-man that isn't really being utilized heavily on special teams. Guess that is part of Carolina having such a stacked blue line this season though.
