That’s all wrong but K... whatever you say
Ummm what? What is wrong there?
Nylander's age? He is infact 22 years old and will be until May.
Do players generally hit their statistical peak at around 24? Take a look at 20 players and tell me how many had their top year around 24. Also don't go far back in time, I'm talking about the past 10 years or so.
Did Hamilton get traded from Boston because of an attitude issue? There were several reports about that, he wasn't fitting in and apparently wanted to much money so Sweeney sent him to Calgary.
Last summer when Hamilton rumours started hitting the airwaves, many experts said he was way too nonchalant about losing and the Flames wanted to change their culture a little and Hamilton was the odd man out.
So if Carolina was to want to trade him now, the optics will paint Hamilton as a problem player, whether that is true or not doesn't really matter. Its enough of a concern that it would affect his worth. Good players don't get traded 3 times before they are 26.
With all that said, I don't see this trade happening because Hamilton hasn't been a problem.
