keep the 4th and we'll give you a 2021 3rd instead of Gambrell and a 2nd

Canes decline. They need Hamilton much more than Nylander.

Also Hamilton's next contract is likely to exceed $10M as he has only turned 27 and will be an useful asset most likely through his whole next contract.

$10 million for Hamilton seems excessive. I'd peg Carlson and Spurgeon as comparables and give him around 8 million

Sorry friend but Johnsson isn't worth 34th overall. Not close.

Spurgeon contract is widely considered as bad, partly due to his age.

Carlson was also turning 29 when his contract started. Hamilton's younger than this.

If he hits free agency, I wouldn't be surprised if he hits $10M.

At this point the offer OP suggested (8x6) is far from good.

Hamilton has had only one superior season and you think he is entitled to top 5 Dman pay? But it's really a silly scenario, that Canes tell/ask Hamilton to negotiate a deal with the Leafs so the the Canes can trade him.

As a bruins fan, I love love love this. The guy is so easy to play against.

8m is fair 10m is a bad contract. It will he regretted I think.

*lower of the 2 2nds

8x6 is low? What about 8.5 or 9?

there is no lower of the 2 2nds. the SJ pick is 34th, and the COL pick is 46-62 (likely closer to the end), either way, its a no.

Think taking a 6 year deal is pointless. By being 28 the time the new contract kicks in, it'd be foolish of him to get expired by 34.

I'm almost certain he's looking max term deal, as that would be most beneficial for him.

I could see 9x8 happening. But anything below 9 seems pretty low to me.

No to the canes deal - too much to give up for Hamilton

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my favorite stat from the CAR/BOS series last year...

Dougie Hamilton and Carolina's Hamilton the Pig had the same amount of points in the series 🤣
