Even without him, they loaded up with talent like John Klingberg, Dmitry Orlov, and Nick Letty. Those moves paid off big time. Hamilton's having a rough year in New Jersey. In 40 games, he's got just five goals and five assists, plus a minus-seven rating.

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.
