Sure, that was because they thought Hamilton should have top pairing minutes and Hamilton - Wideman was not going to work - two RHS, plus not a good stylistic matchup at all. That's also understandable. Hamilton-Engelland would also be two RHS, and Kulak wasn't ready to play bigger minutes. Their defensive roster was kind of a mess, even though many of the pieces (including Engelland and Wideman) were coming off of good seasons.
