Peach tree - oozing canker, mottled branches

We planted several peach trees as whips 3 years ago. They were growing nicely... until they got pelted by 1/2" hail after just a few months in the ground. The trees all survived, but with wounds all over their branches, which eventually healed over. But last year I started to see swollen areas along the branches, with orange ooze coming out of them. And now it's back again this Spring:

The new growth on these trees is also a little funny-looking - mottled red and brown, like this:

Any ideas as to what's wrong with my tree? Should I spray it with something, or because of the hundreds of wounds it received at a young age, is this tree just doomed and I should replace it?
