from Damien Cox of Sportsnet,
The Flames may be turning it around, but the Dougie Hamilton ice time watch is still a peculiar one.
Hamilton, acquired in a big trade with Boston at the draft, currently owns a larger cap hit than any Calgary defenceman – that will change next season when Mark Giordano’s extension kicks in – but is getting the fifth-most ice time on the Calgary defence. Hamilton is getting more than five minutes less per game than Dennis Wideman, No. 4 on the Flames list.
The return of T.J. Brodie has pushed the 22-year-old Hamilton out of the top four, and his game has been filled with errors, contributing to a minus-9 rating early in the season.
