NHL insider Elliott Friedman dropped a bomb show on Sportsnet's Saturday headlines.

He revealed that New Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton blocked a trade to the San Jose Sharks last offseason.

The Sharks made a run at the big defenseman, but Hamilton said no thanks.

The Sharks were on a mission to rebuild their blue line, and Hamilton fit the bill perfectly.

That's way below his usual standards, and fans are wondering if a fresh start could spark a turnaround.

Now the Sharks are one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch.

Friedman even hinted that, with their hot streak, Hamilton might rethink blocking a deal if it comes up again.

A change of scenery could be just what Hamilton needs, especially with San Jose clicking on defense.

Keep an eye on this one as the trade deadline approaches.
