I like Hjalmarrson, but he's been a disappointment relative to his trajectory path when he first came in the league. The offensive game is non-existant, and he's not overly physical to compensate for the lack of offense or puck movement. Sure, he blocks alot of shots, but so do other guys (as noted) and they also bring other things to the table. IMO, if you can get good value for Hammer, I'd move him and free up space to address center and bring in a cheaper upgrade on Hammer himself (Suter is a pipe dream IMO).
