Ryan Gilbert of PHIHockeyNow: Again, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher should have Dougie Hamilton as his top priority. Surely, Hamilton’s agent will be fielding many calls from many teams. Does Fletcher need a statement move? Philadelphia needs an impact defenseman. Hamilton qualifies there no question.
A top-four right-handed shooting defenseman is just what Philadelphia needs. Fletcher has poked around looking for one in the past. He tried making moves with several teams and came up empty.
At least four to six teams are in the mix for Fletcher when it comes to making a deal now.
