The Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes are among the teams with interest in New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.

However, it's believed that the Maple Leafs would only consider a trade if the Devils retained a significant portion of Hamilton's contract, LeBrun adds. Hamilton is signed for two more seasons after 2025-26 with a $9-million cap hit.

He also has a 10-team trade list, but Hamilton's agent, J.P. Barry, said his client is willing to consider teams outside that list to help accommodate a move.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone needs to explain how this benefits the Canes in any way. Any weakness on Carolina's blue line is a result of RBA's inability to establish any pairings with Slavin not in the lineup. 

Hamilton is far from physical and, in many respects, he's a younger version of Brent Burns. Not a physical intimidator in any way and a fairly mediocre D-man. The only draw may be his offense? 

There are a few other priorities I would like to see addressed heading into the playoffs before bringing in a retread D-man.

A lot of our trouble on d is rods system DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH OFF HANDED DEFENDERS.  This would restore the balance

I bet it happens.  Do we trade for Ned as well?

I'm actually not against bringing Ned back.

He has proven himself to be a reliable 1b. He might honestly be the best option on the market.

      Draft Taylen Green

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
