Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s report indicating the Carolina Hurricanes will allow Dougie Hamilton to speak with other clubs created a stir in the NHL rumor mill.
Matt Larkin compiled a tiered list of potential sign-and-trade suitors for the 27-year-old defenseman, with the Flyers among the potential pursuers.
Larkin observed the Flyers need a proper right-shot defenseman to pair with Ivan Provorov on their top pairing. While Hamilton would fit the bill, he might not be their top choice.
