I was curious what others might think the price on Hamilton, or even Faulk might be. There is a chance that CAR does not wish to re-sign Hamilton at the end of the contract (because he may ask for more than they are comfortable), and there is also a chance Adam Fox decides to test free agency and not sign with CAR. CAR may then wish to maximize return on at least one of their RHD assets.

I figured that they could be interested in a cheaper option to replace Hamilton in Pionk (so CAR's right side would be Pesce Faulk Pionk). I know that Hamilton produces way more, but they are getting back a NHL defenseman who can move the puck. Also, CAR might possibly need replace Ferland if he leaves, so I thought Namestnikov could work. Historically, he has shown that he puts up numbers with top players like Stamkos, so maybe he slides onto the Aho line? I understand he's not as large as Ferland, but he plays bigger than his size, and CAR already has decent size to begin with.

I know they have time left on his contract, but the sooner you move Hamilton, the more return you should receive.

Other than that, I am not sure what else to add here. Should the pick be a first? Should a prospect be added? Let me know your thoughts.
