I really don't think Hamilton had the value that some think he did or has. Many Flames fans saw the flaws in his game, and if we can see it, so should the NHL executives who get paid to assess.
I'd be surprised if Hamilton was acquired by the Leafs in a Nylander deal. Kid would get eaten alive by the media and fans there. He'd probably retire before his contract ends.
Leafs probably want Slavin from the Canes in a Nylander deal.
