Really, Slavin, his defense partner, deserves credit.
He is a huge part of what turned the team around and he’s the main pillar of the Hurricane defense.
There’s no way Hamilton produces like this with Slavin as the defensive anchor.
In fact, I’d even say Slavin is simply a better defenseman than Hamilton by a decent margin.
