I think someone's going to regret signing Dougie for $8M+ on a longterm contract. With Hamilton, I feel like you have to pair him with an elite shutdown guy like Slavin for him to have success. He puts up points, but I still find his defensive game a little lacking to justify that high a price tag. He didn't work out very well when he was paired with Gio.
