Hamilton scored the game-winning goal Thursday against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames have now won seven straight games and Hamilton has been a key contributor through that stretch. The 22-year-old has scored twice and been held off the scoresheet in just one of the seven victories. While he's only got 11 points on the season, Hamilton has scored four times and his play is steadily improving on a surging Flames team. Snag him off the waiver wire while you can, as the youngster is starting to show traces of the 42-point man he was with Boston last season.

Hamilton scored the game-tying goal Tuesday against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton's goal, his third on the season, was his first in over a month. The defenseman is averaging almost three minutes a game on Calgary's top power-play unit over the last six games, yet, finding the score sheet remains a struggle.

Hamilton notched an assist against the Capitals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
While it is nice to see Hamilton get on the score sheet, it doesn't make up for the fact he now has two goals and three assists in 18 game. Additionally, Hamilton played only 14 minutes in this game, which is concerning. The Flames may not be too keen on letting Hamilton try and play through his struggles.

Hamilton has tallied two goals and two assists in 15 games this 2015-16 season.
EDGE Analysis
After being traded from the Bruins to the Flames in the offseason, Hamilton has provided the Flames with four points and an average of 19 minutes of ice time a game. Although Hamilton has been productive offensively, he has a minus-9 rating through 15 games to show for his efforts defensively. Hamilton has a chance to see additional ice time if continues to produce on Calgary's second-unit power play, where he has recorded 50 percent of his points.

Hamilton scored his first goal as a Calgary Flame in Saturday's 3-2 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton sniped a wrist shot on the power play to give the Flames a 1-0 lead in the first period. Acquired from a trade with Boston, Hamilton led all Calgary in ice time with 26:38. He's one of the league's most talented young defensemen and figures prominently into the Flames' top-four. He's a high-upside defenseman in fantasy leagues with his natural scoring ability.

Hamilton signed a six-year, $34.5 million deal with the Flames on Tuesday, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Hamilton came over from Boston in a trade last week, and it appears he's viewed as a key part of the Flames' future. The 22-year-old, who showed flashes of promise as a member of the Bruins, notched 42 points in an average of 21:20 of ice time per game last season.

Hamilton has been acquired by the Flames from the Bruins. Boston will acquire Calgary's 2015 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and two 2015 second-round picks (No. 45 and No. 52 overall).
Wow. The Bruins give up a promising blueliner with his best years in front of him in order to stockpile some picks and some infused youth. Expected to join Dennis Wideman, T.J. Brodie and Kris Russell in Calgary's blue line corps, Hamilton should immediately provide that unit with some more scoring and upside. Hamilton posted 42 points in 72 games last season.

Hamilton has been acquired by the Panthers from the Bruins. Boston will acquire Florida's 2015 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and two 2015 second-round picks (No. 45 and No. 52 overall).
Wow. The Bruins give up a promising blueliner with his best years in front of him in order to stockpile some picks and some infused youth. Other than budding superstar Aaron Ekbland, the Panthers have a veteran-oriented blue line corps, so Hamilton should immediately provide that unit with some more scoring and upside. Hamilton posted 42 points in 72 games last season.

Hamilton is on track to become a restricted free agent if he doesn't sign a new deal with the Bruins before July 1, NHL.com reports.
Coming off a 2014-15 season in which he recorded career-highs in goals (10) and points (42) in 72 games for the Bruins, the 22-year-old is clearly due for a salary bump. Though the team naturally wishes to retain the promising blueliner, the B's are dealing with some salary-cap constraints, which present some challenges on that front. If Hamilton is not signed before the start of free agency, it's possible that another team (with more cap space) could swoop in and sign him to an offer sheet.

Hamilton (upper body) skated on his own on Tuesday for the second consecutive day, NESN.com reports.
That said, Hamilton is not slated to travel with the Bruins on their upcoming three-game road trip, and unless that somehow changes, the soonest we'll see him back in action is the playoffs, should the Bruins qualify.
