Re: Bad or good idea - improve my D
I've been saying this a lot lately, but I think Hamilton takes a step back next year. So I wouldn't consider him a lock. Luke Hughes probably gets PP1 for the Devils, meaning Hamilton and Nemec will be on PP2. I'm also not a big fan of McAvoy, his point production is very dependent on his teammates, and who knows what the Bruins roster will look like next year. Power doesn't interest me because he's buried behind Dahlin in Buffalo. Seider is interesting, but only if the Red Wings don't bring in another PP specialist and give him PP1 next year. Since we have way of knowing what will happen, he's too much of a risk in points only. I'm a big fan of Jiricek, but I think he needs a trade to realize his value. The Blue Jackets have a very crowded D-corps and the team is just a mess in general.
So, I would not make the trade you mention, but I would look to trade Hamilton away.
