His hockey sense and awareness in the offensive zone is rivaled by very few in the NHL and his ability to find soft spots in coverage and get shots through traffic is what makes him such an effective player. He is also the only defenseman to reach double digit goals in each of the last seven seasons and he has the third highest expected goals total Even if we take just this year, where Hamilton had a notably slow start to the season, he still finished seventh in total points by defensemen 42 — Tyson Barrie had the most with 48 — and fifth in goals 10 — Jakob Chycrun led the way with Hamilton also helped take what used to be an embarrassment of a power play and help usher it into new heights.

His penalty differential ranked as the ninth worst during the regular season and his -4 differential during the playoffs was the third worst — with the worst being his buddy Andrei Svechnikov.
The reality of it all is that the Hurricanes are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to Hamilton.
