Thread: Jones for Hamilton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I have a feeling were gonna see the following

Dougie meets with Team X, they give him 8.5 x 8 but uh oh (FA can only sign 7 unless its Seattle)

so Team X and Carolina make a deal (Carolina signs him for 8 years than trades him to Team X)

little unconventional but lets be real he is going in a sign and trade if he wants out

But what happens to the space he leaves open

what other big name Dman said he wants out (Seth Jones)

Carolina uses some of the assets they got for Hamilton and trade for Jones

Now there is always the option of team X just giving him a year less but I have a feeling Carolina and him will have a deal in place to do a sign and trade should they not agree on a contract</div></div>

The logic is there, and I appreciate that.

Carolina is a very analytical-run organization, with Eric Tulsky commonly accepted as being one of, if not, the best analytical masterminds in the NHL. Tulsky is an assistant general manager in Carolina, so he holds a strong position of power. Seth Jones' analytics aren't good. At all. The assets Carolina would be willing to give up to get him would be underwhelming for Columbus. Furthermore, in free agency, he is likely offered below market value from Carolina. On the back of that, I don't think this makes sense. I think trading Hamilton's rights for a roster player makes a lot of sense, and I could even see Caleb Jones being a target if Hamilton can agree a contract in Alberta. However, the link to Seth is farfetched and really serves no purpose.
