Defensively, I think Hamilton probably got away with a lot in junior due to size, skating and reach, so he didn't have to position himself as well, or bodycheck much. NHL needs more positional awareness. Huska is supposedly a D-whisperer but he never got his hands on Hamilton. I wonder if he'd have done anything.

Huska's made Prout better, so I have no doubt he would've helped Hamilton. However, Hamilton has absolutely zero positional ability, especially in regards with his stick, so it would've been one hell of a slog.
