Dougie Hamilton hasn’t spoken publicly to the media ever since his mid-season drama with the now former general manager.
Sunny Mehta didn’t make the mess, but it’s now his job to clean it up.
How will he address the elephant in the room?

Gotta get a top 6 winger.
Great post. Fitzgerald was the problem along with the coach he hired. Really can not blame the players. It was management that blew the Quinn Hughes deal. The new GM has to be real sharp to fix Our N.J. Devils team.
Fitz really screwed over this team…but I bet Mehta is already looking at fixing this mess…I would try to trade Dougie, Nemec, and a 1st round pick for Quinn.
Dougie’s contract is going to be a lot easier to move than people realize. You didn’t mention the fact that after July 1 when his signing bonus is paid out, he’s only owed $5.5M in salary that season and $1M in salary the year after that. Very important detail of this saga. They’ll eat the July 1 signing bonus then whoever he gets traded to is only on the hook to pay him $6.5M for the duration of his deal. Considering the young crop of talent San Jose has, the need for a RHD offensive defenseman, and 42M in cap space the move makes perfect sense. Send him there for a mid round pick, work on a deal for a high end scoring winger for a package based around Haamenaho and Casey plus
