Hamilton, however, will concentrate on what he can control, because everything else is outside of his control. Although the defender of the Devils was asked to want to stay with the Devils, he told Novozinsky that he signed for a reason in New Jersey, because he wants to win a Stanley Cup with the team.

Not to mention the fact that Hamilton is still effective on the Power Play and in his own zone.
Moreover, it is for financial reasons, and they are never a good thing. One of his controllables is His clause with 10 teams no-trade. Do not expect that he will soon go to one of the Bottom-Feding teams or back to Canada. Fitzgerald also made it clear that he had no transactions in the works to erase the cap space.
