This is both good and bad, it sucks that Freddy is going to worst team in the League but at the same time it might mean that he gets playing time and a chance to stick.

Just joking based on today's news that Duclair has requested a trade.

It was also a distraction in some ways. The Hamilton boys got to live out their dream of playing together but it'll be better for both of them this way in my humble opinion.

Dougie can now change his name to Doug and get a new rooomate.

Freddie being claimed is probably preferable for those wanting a shake up as he's now off the roster. There's no guarantee that Freddie was going to Stockton.

And remove the stupid 'D.' In front of his last name on his jersey. Hes just 'Hamilton.'

Maybe if he hurries Treliving can still see if Duclair + 1st for D. Hamilton is still on the table.

I'm sure he will be fine.

Arizona had first dibs on waiver claims.

It's definitely interesting. Could be further dominos to fall...
