I have to think in practice the coaching staff evaluates who`s strong and who`s not in the shootouts?

I said yes. IMO, losing Hamilton won't hurt as much as people think. I'm one of the few who was never sold on him being a #1 D.
Assuming you are correct (not saying you aren't) and further assuming that he was at least a second-tiering d-man (I realize you didn't say that but I am), that still leaves two holes that need to be filled in our top-4: Boychuk and Hamilton. And with an uncertain Chara and Seidenberg, I think it hurts every bit as much as people think.
