Hamilton has been a healthy scratch for the last three games.

EDGE Analysis

Dating back even further, the depth forward has watched 21 of the team's last 26 games from the press box, and only has a single point across the 21 contests he's played in. Needless to say, he is one player to steer clear of for fantasy purposes.

Hamilton has played in 18 games this season, scoring a lone goal along the way.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old winger was great last year in the AHL, racking up 43 points in 62 games, but that success hasn't at all translated to the NHL level. Hamilton has been with the Flames all year but has only gotten into 18 games, so his development at this point is pretty much in limbo since he's spending most of his time in the press box -- rather than on the ice in Calgary or AHL Stockton.

Hamilton hasn't recorded a point in 14 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton is the textbook example of a depth forward that doesn't factor into fantasy leagues, as he's averaged just 9:42 of ice time with a minus-2 rating, four PIM and 14 shots this year. That said, his 23 hits might be of value if he provided coverage across any other categories.

Hamilton dressed for the third time this season in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

There's not much to report here other than the fact that Hamilton assumed a spot on the Flames' fourth line after sitting out the previous five contests as a healthy scratch. He doesn't have a point and has just two shots on goal, but his nine hits would amount to a useful pace if he were ever to play with any regularity.

Hamilton signed a two-year, $1.225 million contract extension with the Flames on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports, adding that it's a one-way deal.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton, a sizable two-way forward, joined the Flames organization ahead of the 2015-16 season. He dialed in 18 goals to complement 25 assists in 62 games with AHL Stockton on top of grabbing a goal and assist in a four-game stint with the parent club. Hamilton is a depth forward with a chance to secure a more substantial role once he gains more NHL experience.

Hamilton has been sent to AHL Stockton.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton, who has racked 16 goals and 19 assists in 53 games with Stockton to date, is a candidate for another recall before the end of the season, after scoring a goal and an assist in four March contests with the big club.

Hamilton was called up on an emergency basis Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Sam Bennett out among others for Wednesday's game, Calgary needed an extra forward. Hamilton is having a decent campaign in AHL Stockton, with 16 goals and 19 assists in 53 games, but has scored one point in 29 career NHL games.

Hamilton was acquired by the Flames from Colorado on Monday in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton will report to AHL Stockton, where he will provide the Flames with organizational depth at forward. The 23-year-old registered 34 points (11 goals, 23 assists) in 57 games in the AHL last season.

Hamilton signed his qualifying offer with the Avalanche and will be in attendance for the team's training camp.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton's exact salary for the 2015-16 campaign isn't clear, but it's likely that his contract is a two-way deal that would allow the Avalanche to ship him to AHL San Antonio at the conclusion of training camp, as he's not likely to crack the 23-man roster. The 23-year-old skated in 18 NHL contests last season, producing one goal and no assists.

Hamilton was reassigned to AHL Lake Erie on Monday, TheAHL.com reports. The Avs' season came to an end over the past weekend, so Hamilton will head to Lake Erie to get some more work in over their remaining three contests. Acquired from the Sharks at the trade deadline, Hamilton appeared in 17 games with the Avalanche, recording one goal and 11 shots on net.
