Dougie Hamilton had 74 points last year lol. This guy is a gigantic part of this team and him being out for nearly the entirety of this season definitely killed us a bit. Injuries were (one of the numerous) killers this year. Last year we were very lucky in terms of team health
Still need a NHL level starting goaltender and bottom 6 depth and an elite faceoff guy and more grit and a great coach (please Tom for the love of god don’t mess this up please)
@njdivas -Boston traded Hamilton. -Calgary traded Hamilton. -Carolina didn't make an offer to keep him. Devils twitter: "Our 6'6" offensive Dman who plays like he's 5'9" is an invaluable asset that we can't be without."
@njdivas You're so right. With Dougie in the line up, we have the #1 PP in the league Lethal. Also, imo, we really missed McLeod more than we know.
@njdivas I know Dougie is a great player. But he is a part of a team. When 1 guy gets hurt, it should NOT matter that much! If it does, it's called an EXCUSE!!!
