Hamilton is a decent prospect who is a versatile player with some untapped upside. He might be Colorado's next fourth-line center (in 2015-16?) and has more potential than the player traded away (Stollery).

The Sharks decided to give up on Hamilton here, instead dealing him to Colorado for a depth defenseman. Stollery won't make much of an impact in San Jose but is rather a rearguard who can fill in for injuries.

This deal has very little fantasy value, as Hamilton isn't going to light it up in Colorado anytime soon (while Stollery is a depth guy, too).
