NHL Shockwaves: Could Dougie Hamilton and Marc-André Fleury Be Heading for Blockbuster Moves?
Within that context, Hamilton’s situation looms large. The veteran right-shot defenseman moved from cornerstone status to trade-watch regular after a sequence that included a healthy scratch followed quickly by a return to the lineup. His contract remains the central obstacle: two more years at a premium cap hit leave only a small group of teams capable of absorbing his number, especially if they want New Jersey to retain salary. For the Devils, any trade involving Hamilton is less about pure value and more about rebalancing their cap structure while staying competitive in the short term.
