karlsson is still an excellent offensive defensiveman, he just provides zero defense.  think red wings edition paul coffey.

I don't know how much input he gets, but from listening so far, McLellan doesn't talk like a coach interested in a non-D D-man. Then again, talk is one thing, having an asset in hand is another.

Rumor has it Wings have contacted NJ re Dougie Hamilton.  Seems like they're looking for a 2nd pair RHD who can provide some offense

r/devils - Dougie Hamilton's RAPM Chart (detailing his advanced stats over the past 3 seasons)

 

Hamilton is a good offensive defenseman, but a below average actual defender, as is shown by RAPM chart (or whatever it's called). We'd be on the hook for $9 mil per year for the next three years, which is cheaper than Karlsson by around $2.5 mil. He's also 3 years younger than Karlsson is. Hamilton doesn't fit the tough, checking, defensively smart, puck clearing defenseman that we need. He'd just be another boost to the offense and we'd have to likely find room for him on the powerplay. I think I'd pass on Hamilton and may even go for the more productive Karlsson if I had to pick between the two.

karlsson has also been healthier...which is funny to say.  but he's played all 82 for three straight seasons.  hamilton has played 20 and 62 the last two years.

karlsson is older and more expensive, but has one less year on his deal.  if youre looking for an asp tutor or what asp's absolute besr case scenario is as a player, its karlsson.
