If Rendulic is a long shot, then Freddie Hamilton is a major outlier. Indeed, at the time of writing, he’s an unsigned restricted free agent.
The main rationale for including Hamilton on this list is that he’s young and working hard. He displayed a lot of offensive upside at the AHL-level. If he can display that in training camp and the preseason, he might well make the team for opening night.
It’s debatable if he’s an upgrade on last season’s fourth line center, Marc-Andre Cliche. However, the kid’s got some offensive upside — it’s all about impressing in training camp.
