Hamilton is better than Trouba/Pietrangelo.
While true, Vegas is also a lot better at actually defending, and not giving up those scramble 2nd and 3rd opportunities, where you're not defending. They led the league in blocked shots last season. They're top 5 this season. 1st in the league at expected goals against differential. Top 10 in rebound goals against. Less defensive zone giveaways.Goaltending is voodoo. Vegas just won with Adin Hill. Unless you have a way to acquire one of the like 5 proven elite starters, who teams almost never trade away for that very reason, your best move is not to commit term or dollars to the position.
Hamilton is talented but incredibly overrated.And yet three different teams have let him walk.
exactly what other teams fans do here. use same old arguments over and over again.No, the Oilers became the Oilers because they assumed paying for a goalie was suddenly going to make all their other deficiencies go away. Devils have a solid foundation both up front and at the blue line, which is something Edmonton never had.
But, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing yada yada yada, so either the the devils keep going to that well of discount darlings or they make a big splash which will either put them over the top or anchor them down.

If your looking for just offense and PP acumen he's better than Trouba. But if he played behind Fox in NY or another player that QBs the PP better than him Trouba is a better player.Hamilton is better than Trouba/Pietrangelo.

Overrated fluke bust. Manager mistake. Fitzgerald will be fired because of him.What is going on?
He’s playing injured. There was speculation from one of those twitter docs that it was a sprained MCL. Regardless of what it is, it’s clearly limiting him significantly. Probably shouldn’t even be in because he’s been genuinely awful.View attachment 785114
So hes officially doin worse so far this year, than he did last year when he first joined.
What is going on? He just doesnt seem to mesh well with anyone on NJ. Not good being his first year for his new 8.8x8 deal.
injury doesnt explain it all though. he hasn't fit in well since becoming a devil although it is worse now.He’s playing injured.

Meier is not a fit for the Devils system. I think the Sharks really inflated his value.
I don’t get it? He played quite well last season for the Devils. There’s more to evaluating play than just looking at box scores, which is clearly all you’re doing.So he's been injured for over a year now? Doesn't add up.

Utterly ridiculous nonsense.I think a Meier / Huberdeau swap (with picks and salary retentions to make it right) makes sense.
Huberdeau is at his best in a NJD type of system - similar to how the Panthers play. Lots of east / west movement and activation of D.
Meier would be best for the Flames system. Like the Sharks they play more North / South with puck protection and cycling.
These two are fish out over water with their current teams.
So in your eyes he is injured, yet still playing.I don’t get it? He played quite well last season for the Devils. There’s more to evaluating play than just looking at box scores, which is clearly all you’re doing.
Utterly ridiculous nonsense.
Because he's healthy and able to play. The issue is he is lost in the Devil's system and never as good as Devil's management thought he was.Meier started slow then stared to play well then got hurt then came back and looks to be playing hurt. He was good in the short stretch before he was injured. Not sure why the team is rolling him out there at what looks like 70%.
Yes, this happens literally every year. Nico was playing injured to start the season. Jack has played injured through parts of multiple seasons. Dougie played with a significant foot injury his first season in NJ and through a hand injury in the playoffs.So in your eyes he is injured, yet still playing.
Thanks sparky - great analysis.
Consistently regressing. Makes sense. He never was as good as Devil's management / fans thought and he's getting worse.Yes, this happens literally every year. Nico was playing injured to start the season. Jack has played injured through parts of multiple seasons. Dougie played with a significant foot injury his first season in NJ and through a hand injury in the playoffs.
I wonder why he’s not moving as well as last year? Probably nothing to do with injury and it’s some bullshit you made up about how he fits on the team.
