Confirmed with Link: [SJ/COL] Freddie Hamilton for Karl Stollery

[sr228]

Dumping a contract is fine, but do it for picks at least. Not for a pending UFA career AHLer which gets you nothing.

You're assuming DW could have gotten a pick back, I'd say you assume wrong.

 

[AvsRobin]

Look at his zone starts.

I think its also another future move with a few guys in college about to turn pro maybe? Namely Sean Kuraly who projects to be a bottom 6 center like Hamilton.

The only thing this does is When Karl Stollery leaves there will be a contract space opened up.

Just thought of something maybe this was for Worcester(SP) D need (for this playoffs) even though it weakens the forwards.

It's no fun when we acquire someone whose name I don't recognize. Too much googling.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Could Freddie have asked out? I don't think he's playing on the top line in Worcester and has been leapfrogged by Tierney. Maybe he's unhappy and wanted a fresh start.

Freddie was one of Worcester's top players, sad to say he never got a real chance in the San Jose organization. Hope for the best on the new team.

Hamilton has been terrible this season. Occasional spurts where he was good, but he's not been anywhere near the player he was in past seasons.

During the preseason McLellan said Freddie's "time is now."

After being cut McLellan gave his reason saying plainly, "he was outplayed."

Stollery already assigned to WorSharks

 

[Sandisfan]

The only thing that they can get out of this deal is having Karl Stollery play in the post season with Worcester after this season they will just let Karl leave and they could have just released Freddie if he wasn't in their plans because other than a playoff run this season with Wor there is no need to make this deal.

Who's to say they let Stollery leave? Maybe this is an audition for an AHL depth defence slot into the future?

 

[stator]

To me this is a meh deal. I've have seen Hamilton more as a AHL'er than a NHL'er.

He will erase whatever shame Burish brought to that honorable number.

When did Burish leave? Did he retire? I thought he was still plugging away down there?

He was loaned to the Chicago Wolves in exchange for John McCarthy. And everyone in Worcester was gleeful at the news.

Did anyone notice that they pretty much have gotten rid of all of Couture's friends?

Demers, Sheppard, Burish. Maybe he's the one DW wants to trade.

When was Burish ever a friend of Couture's?

Or those guys were expendable.

Couture Demers and Sheppard were friends, Demers was good friends with Burish. I stalk them on social media and have seen many photos.

He was loaned to the Chicago Wolves in exchange for John McCarthy. And everyone in Worcester was gleeful at the news.

Their stats since the "trade" are very similar...

McCarthy: 19 games, 4-4-8, +3, 4 PIM, 2 GWG
Burish: 18 games, 5-6-11, E, 6 PIM, 1 GWG

...but you won't find a single person here that doesn't think we got the better of that deal.

 

[Coily]

nevermind.

 

[puppydog]

My take on Burish was that he wanted nothing to do with the San Jose Shark organization anymore!!! Would you expect anything else! Played very unmotivated in Worcester.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Well he was demoted and basically told to get lost.
