Expectations for D. Hamilton in CAR

[cheese_cake]

I'm surprised no one has started this thread yet.

What are the expectations for Hamilton going forward? I have more interest in points than cats here but I think it would be nice to also have people pitch in on that.

My own expectations differ from the ramblings I read today : I feel like Hamilton will be the all around + PP1 man in CAR and thus finally fulfilling his potential. It might be a stretch but I think he could go for low 50s, maybe 60.

I'm even considering trading him 1 on 1 with Carlson in cap, point only league (in sig).

Looking forward to have your opinions!

I think we will see Hamilton well over 300 SOG so >50 pts is reasonable.

I like Hamilton > Carlson in cap leagues for the next three years. And I don't really look too far beyond that window anyways, so that trade makes sense to me. I also expect Faulk to be moved, so I don't seen any scenario where Dougie is not headlining that powerplay.

[GoNucks]

Agreed Hamilton on that PP should be 50-60 pts.

[tobias]

50 point floor. Flirts with 60 point pacing at points throughout the season. So put me right in the middle at 55 points.

I know that the OP didn't ask for category coverage, but I would expect a very high shot volume, a big jump in power play points, and I'm comfortable with expecting 15 goals, with 20 goal upside.

In a cap league, I am definitely taking him over Carlson.

[StuntMan12]

45-55 points. He can be hot and cold and is hard to predict sometimes. Last year I thought for sure he'd hit close to 60 points but he finished with 44.

[FantasyKing]

40-55 pts floor . 65 pts ceiling

[stevegamer]

He's hit 50 before so low 50's shouldn't be a stretch. I think he's pretty safely going to provide the category coverage we've seen, but with a bit more power play offense along the way.

I'll say 40 points cause he ain't riding shotgun to my man Gio anymore. If you look at the last two dudes that played with him, Brodie had an amazing year and then Dougie. Gio is the key.

Hamilton had 42 points in 72 games in Boston with Giordano nowhere nearby.

I think 50 pts is achievable, along with 3 or 4 visits to a museum per year, and no trips to Vegas. If Freddie ends up in Carolina, then I might have to adjust those numbers.

Chara was looming though.

45 -55 most years for me as well... it'll be a couple years before Car. high end talent really take over that club and start producing

I think Hamilton runs PP1 in Carolina and puts up 16g/49a/55p next year.

[snowball]

Hey i would also like your input on this. Multi cat leagues, PIM SOG HITS +/- G A PPP

my thought is that now that Hamilton is the main D with Carolina, he'll be a potential Top 10 D multi cat?

can he be same Tier as Subbans/Doughty/Big Buff/Burns type of player but much younger??

[Axeman33]

I dont see any reason why Hamilton can't touch 50pts going forward most seasons. He's still has some very good forwards around him to help add the points in Carolina.
