Hamilton vs Carlson (a "basic stats" comparison)

Subban and Karlsson are disasters in their own zone to anyone that is paying attention

And he is 3 years younger. 25 is still pre-prime for defensemen.

The Flames also had him on the second unit for much of the year....

If the Flames somehow ROR and his 15pp goals get ready to scream.

Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, ROR and puck handling D-man Gio or Brodie.

6 goals on 2:40 pp time game for 82 games from the Laine/Ovechkin trigger area is not good enough.

Faulk was the #1 overall in PP time in Carolina with Coach Peters and the #2 D man Hanifin was 10th in pp time with 1:40/game.

With the Flames 2017-18 Hamilton had to be better on the PP than Hamonic/Stone/Brodie ... this coming season he will have to better than the Flames #4/5 forward.

Subban is on the ice in the last 2 minutes of a 1 goal lead playing against the other teams best players. On a team loaded with quality D-men he is on the PK 2:48 game.

Karlsson is not a good defensive D-man. He makes up for it by being the most talented offensive player on the ice.

Biggest stat to me is Hamilton needs to tone it down penalty wise. I like Dougie
