Proposal: 2015 Offseason Trade Rumours & Proposals | Part VI | Rejoice, it's Draft Day!

Rival gm on hamilton

Rival GM: "They wanted much more from us."

 

[BonkTastic]

So I guess the Leafs win the Kessel deal now?

One of those rare deals where both teams lose...


If you'd have told me the day of the trade that the winners of the Kessel deal would be Dallas and Calgary, I'd have asked a doctor to check your meds, haha.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Lol what on Earth were they doing?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

All because they traded Seguin for quantity.

This needs to die

Had they not traded Seguin they could very well be in a much, much worse situation

Boston is supposed to raise their ticket prices next year, this was something that kept getting brought up by McGuire on the morning show as a reason as to why Boston not making the playoffs would lead to heads rolling; if they do trade Lucic then I wonder if they are going to go in reverse and rebuild and not raise ticket prices...

Strange move but I maintain that Hamilton saw a way to get out of Boston and get paid and took it moreso than Boston giving up

 

[WhiteLight*]

Boston is coocoo brains

 

[Oil For The Boys]

Why wouldn't they have just traded Lucic and then try to sign Hamilton? I'm sure they could've found a deal for Eriksson. Sounds like there's a lot more going on in Boston than just cap problems

Desperate to get him out west I guess.

How so? I see them in a much, much better situation with Seguin.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

I find it kinda comical ottawa has a budget and still doesnt make such idiotic moves as boston

 

[BonkTastic]

Seguin wasn't going to be the player he is right now if he'd have stayed in Boston. There were plenty of issues, and being traded was a big wakeup call for Seguin.

They just let go a 22 year old top pairing dman because of cap problems

You seriously think that Seguin breaking out in Boston, like most people seem to assume is a given (I do not), wouldn't have lead to similar problems?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Nealey is destroying that franchise

 

[PatrickEaves]

Boston board is saying that Hamilton was asking for a long term deal at $5.5 million per year.



I'm pretty sad we are in the same division as Boston now.

 

[BonkTastic]

Neely.

Cam Neely.

Just as bad as Lowe...well maybe not

The guy is a stud and I'd argue well worth it and Boston knows it

They just couldn't make it fit

Good laugh^

I give that to Hamilton all day long.

If it's true that Boston balked at $5.5, they're much dumber than I had originally thought.

Why not give up others first though?

Worst case can't Boston afford a buyout?

Perhaps

You don't trade Seguin for cap room. You trade someone like Lucic to create room for Seguin.

You trade Sedeinberg, not Hamilton.

Dude, if you can get Hamilton signed at $5.5 million long term, you do it, and dump the rest of your contracts.

You don't trade the stud 22 year old defenseman to make the dollars work.

It would be like Chicago trading Keith so they can keep Vermette and Sharp.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

maybe boston needs money to re-sign lucic

 

[Iamok]

Good lord, can you imagine if we did something like that?

 

[x Karlsson x 65]

Boston just announced the signing of their new #1 D Adam Mcquaid

 

[playasRus]

Hamilton reportedly asking for 5.5 per long term.
