Hamilton is now the fifth-highest paid defenseman in the league - receiving more than guys like John Carlson, Miro Heiskanen, and Victor Hedman; primarily based on analytics for the past two seasons.
How is that not overpaid?

Cups? I'll be happy with a few post season appearances.
I know it's popular to think people in the media dislike New Jersey, but Burnside was #1 on that list for me.
The Devils haven't won a playoff round in 9 years, how about we walk before we run
She's good at her job too, so I don't feel guilty for liking her so much in the role.
Even if we agree he's overpaid, it's not by that much, and getting him to come here was going to require NJ pay a premium.
That's certainly the way it's being spun by the Devils PR department and Hamilton's agent. Seems like a Giancarlo Stanton move but time will tell.

If you add in the current 7th and 8th likely defenseman in Jaros 6'3 222 and Kevin Bahl 6'6 230....
LOOOOOOL I think it's your bedtime.
He's making less than Seth Jones and Erik Karlsson. He's making $1 million more than Jacob f***ing Trouba.
I thought this prior to the Devils signing him and I haven't talked to Hamilton's agent in years.

Statistically he's been the third best defenseman in the league and is expected to continue that trend. I don't care about what someone's name or supposed reputation is, I care about performance and results. This is why stats are nice to have, because it cuts through the bullshit.

Today's market says this is the price of a top pairing defenseman. Hedman and Carlson took less money years ago to stay and Miro was a RFA who had no leverage.
Now go through the defenseman who make more than Dougie.

The guy was traded SJ for…. He’s a right shot Dman. Most likely a depth or 7th defenseman. I think that happened yesterday or the day before.

Completely missed that... yesterday was my birthday and I was completely off the grid.

Well there had to be one that would come out against the move and if I was betting on it then it would've been them
Dougie has completely changed how I look at the team. I was thinking next year would another year to just let things play out and we wouldn't be all that good. I was totally content with that. Then the year after we'd start to turn things around and the year after that we'd be a playoff team. Now I'm in more of a go mode and want to make a legitimate playoff push
