Hamilton is simply a much better fit for NJDs PP. Hutson provides virtually 0 shot threat from the point. Hamilton provides an elite one. NJD's PP needs that shot threat, since Jack/Bratt aren't really snipers. NJD would much rather have the puck on Jack and Bratt's sticks as much as possible on the PP. In fact, the rest of the PP is built around maximizing them as much as possible. Nico to win faceoffs, Noesen to dig pucks out of corners and get it to Jack/Bratt, Hamilton to draw defenders with his shot threat.
Hutson does not fit well into that at all.
