Hamilton at the Deadline with an Extension

Team: 2020-21 Anaheim Ducks

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 27, 2021

Published: Jan. 27, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I think a Hamilton and Drysdale 1-2 punch going forward is the making of a contender. With this year's draft being an insane crapshoot due to COVID, this might be the year to deal a high pick to get a for-sure superstar on the back end.

Trades

ANA

Hamilton, Dougie

Additional Details:

Ducks extend Hamilton for 8 years, $10.7M AAV.

CAR

Deslauriers, Nicolas
Fowler, Cam
Thrun, Henry [Reserve List]
2021 1st round pick (ANA)

Buyouts

Corey Perry: $6,625,000
Simon Despres: $0

Hidden in Carolina's return is Fowler and his rather steep contract. Freeing up Fowler's $6.5M for 6 years allows Anaheim to afford the "bad team tax" for Hamilton. I also think that Hamilton is the kind of player that will bring Anaheim to Cup-contending status.

Thats not slight thats 2-3 extra at least and for 8 years. Thats exactly the difference between being a contender and not, getting guys on team friendly deals.

You do realize that Hamilton's positive impact on the game is similar to the likes of the Matthews/Marner/Kucherov/Draisaitl/Hedman/Makar talent class, right? This is IMO a pretty fair contract when you consider the "bad team tax" that Anaheim would likely have to pay.

I said that Hamilton is in that echelon of player in terms of impact on the game. I didn't say that he was better than Hedman lol

Why not just wait till 2022-23 and sign Seth Jones in free agency if they don't resign him?

Learn from the Kings, you can't cheat a rebuild, they are doing it the right way.

It takes time and patience, but the end result will be Stanley Cups, just watch.

https://theathletic.com/2319888/2021/01/20/nhl-2020-21-player-value-projections/ - Makar and Hedman tied as the 1/2 defensemen in the NHL at 3.28 GSVA, and Hamilton is at #3 with a 3.22 GSVA. Yeah, they're comparable.

I don't call it cheating a rebuild to deal for Hamilton in exchange for this year's first. Everyone knows just how much of a complete crapshoot that this draft truly is. Instead of gambling on a mystery-box that has a higher-than normal chance of busting spectacularly, how about using the pick to get someone that you know will be a superstar for the majority of the contract?

You do realize by the time your team is ready to contender, he'll be well over 30, right?

Yes...and still a good player, most likely. Long-term veteran leadership for the young guys isn't a bad thing.

Hard pass from Anaheim. Hamilton is not worth that much.
