[Mosby]

Freddie Hamilton, that is.

He's kind of a jack of all trades, but mediocre at best. Good option for the 13th forward or having him rotate in. You could do a lot worse for an extra body. I hope he does well.

We're at the 50 contract limit now I believe. Gotta think another move follows.

(I still flinch when I see "Coyotes" and "Hamilton" in the same sentence)

Cap Friendly shows 49 with FH, didn't Etem drop us down one, or were you including that?

If you're a marginal RHS forward and can't make it elsewhere, you have a home in Arizona.

If you're a marginal *insert any hockey position here* you have a home in Arizona.

"He is not good enough for the NHL, but may not be an AHLer, he can no longer be returned to juniors or college. Europe and KHL are mid seasons so not options....

- ok how about Arizona or an Olympics roster?"

 

[Jakey53]

Exactly. Rinaldo, Kempe, Cousins, Archibald and now Hamilton. Why are we back to dumpster diving? These guys are AHL players at best.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Coyotes getting "stickier" every day.

 

[RABBIT]

only silver lining i see is apparently, Dougie and Freddie are pretty close and like to be together (according to Flames fans.) Maybe this is a move to convince Dougie

 

[SniperHF]

Probably better than Kempe.

Then again Kempe has half his career totals in about a quarter of his games played so...

Titantic, deck chairs, etc.

Our getting the wrong brother continues, then...wrong Hamilton, wrong Schenn...hell, wrong Strome?...wrong Stone, wrong Staal, didn't we have a wrong Hossa once?

so sad, so true.

 

[moosemeister]

In all fairness, there isn't a "good" Strome either. lol

 

[SniperHF]

wrong Hossa once?

Yes.

We also had both Samuelssons...

 

[rt]

I wanted this three years ago. Haha.

 

[Grimes]

Well that was a misleading title.

Gotta imagine they are setting up for a Duke move now...

We have the wrong Kempe as well.

You wanted Freddie Hamilton?

 

[RemoAZ]

I used to think it was a coach thing. It's obvious now that the entire organization loves waiver fodder.

Brothers? Who are close? AND like being together??!? Madness. Absolute madness.

Calgary waived him so they could send him down freely over the next 30 days if need be (they've done this a few times now). I seriously doubt Treliving thought that someone would actually claim him. Regardless, Hamilton isn't that bad. He's a reliable 13th guy who can fill in when he needs to. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Calgary signs him in July.

You wanted Freddie Hamilton?

Yes. He was a great short handed threat in junior and the minors. Great speed and hustle. He just didn't quite pan out how I hoped. Might've been 4 years ago. Haha.

i personally would like playing against my brother to kick the ever living shit out of him. We don't want Freddie, our team is 60% 13th forwards. Please send Dougie.
