"Hamilton, 32, is a complicated trade chip for the Devils because of the fact he owns a 10-team trade list, which essentially gives him control to block trades to 22 other teams. He's signed for a whopping $9 million AAV for two more seasons, and so far this year, he's only recorded 13 points in 42 games, despite playing 21:37 of ice-time, second among all Devils."
"Hamilton's name has been on the trade market for months, and dating back to last summer, he used his trade protection to keep himself in New Jersey, after reports surfaced that he blocked a trade to the San Jose Sharks. From ongoing chatter, at this time, it doesn't appear the Sharks are still involved, which could open the door for Brad Treliving and the Maple Leafs. The same Treliving who acquired Hamilton back in 2015 while managing the Calgary Flames."
Dougie Hamilton, 32, carries a 10-team trade list that allows him to block trades to 22 teams and carries a $9 million AAV through upcoming seasons. He has 13 points in 42 games while averaging 21:37 of ice time, second among Devils. Hamilton used trade protection last summer to block a reported deal to the San Jose Sharks, and the Sharks may no longer be involved. The Toronto Maple Leafs, led by GM Brad Treliving, have held conversations but face $3.3 million in cap space, injured players, and limited trade assets. A three-team deal could help manage Hamilton's cap hit.
