What a post haha you do realize there were circumstances around Gretzky’s departure from Edmonton right? That the team came out and talked about.Gretzky played on 4 teams. Nobody wanted him...
Hamilton is about to play on his 4th team, at 27 no less, despite having talent. Nobody yet has ever really come out and said why they were quick to move him, Calgary I think sort of stumbled around that they needed better guys in the locker room, now Carolina, where he has flourished, isn’t even bothering trying to re-sign him for another month, and is essentially letting him hit UFA over a month early, something that has never really happened, at least not to a player of Hamilton’s calibre.
People are right to question Hamilton given these circumstances. He’s probably the most bizarrely handled, borderline superstar, RHD, a premium sought after position, that I can ever remember.
