Franchise D?

Turn down the hyperbole sir. How quickly people forget how godawful Hamilton is in his own zone at times. Gio absolutely carried him in the defensive zone. He ain't a franchise defensemen. He's a solid offensive defenseman who can play top pairing minutes. I'm guessing a lot of people aren't very good at judging Hamilton's defensive play, as evidenced by opinions of him before we dealt him and after.
