Hockey insider Elliott Freeman broke the news on Sportsnet, saying the Sharks tried to get the defenseman, but Hamilton said no. Now, the New Jersey Devils are set to scratch the four-time Norris Trophy finalist on Sunday, putting him back on the trade block. The 32-year-old right shy Blue Miner has struggled this season with just five goals and 10 points in 40 games.

He has two years left on his contract at $9 million average annual value and a 10-team no-trade list.
