Dan Hamhuis became the 318th player to join the 1,000 games club this year. However, other than reaching that honor, was his season good enough to return to Dallas this coming October?
Hamhuis stayed healthy all season and played in 80 games out of the 82, something Marc Methot was not able to achieve. Hamhuis provided Dallas a solid and steady option on the blue line all season long, as he dabbled between the second and third defensive pairings. That has been the story of his career for each team he has played with since entering the league in 2003.
