Confirmed with Link: Dougie to Calgary

[bb_fan]

Hmmm, interesting to see some rational discussion.

Maybe, just maybe the new management sees Hamilton, sees how limited he is defensively and decided to move on before they had to pay him $7M per year.

Moving him is one thing. .. the return is another all together.

 

[bob27]

Has a management team ever messed up a team as badly ever in any sport? Seriously wondering.

Letting Pogba to Juventus for nothing was pretty woeful from ManU.

 

[Banded Peak]

Treliving saying they've been talking to Boston about a trade for Hamilton since the season ended. Was unclear who's season he meant. If end of Boston's season, who was he talking to?

Now that I've had time to digest this one the return is just very disappointing. same as Seguin. If you thought they had holes in their game and didn't like them try and parlay it into a return that is not pure ****. This is humiliating.

Also read that Chiarelli threatened to offer sheet when Sweeney asked for Nurse and so Sweeney dealt with the Flames instead. So it was Chia not Neely who came out swinging. Cold comfort I guess.

How do you know there was a better offer out there for him?

Please convince me why Edmonton and Calgary will be bottom 5-10 teams for the next couple years for the picks to be any good????

The 2 picks are better than the ones Boychuk returned and they clearly like the players they scouted at 14 if they made these trades.

Hamilton is going to put up a lot of points though we aren't going to "win" this trade.

 

[Riverfront]

and we thought chiarelli didn't know what he was doing. trading a 6'5" TWENTY ONE year d man will come back to haunt them. the worst part is they still have dennis siedenberg.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

These moves become better if they can dump Seidenberg or CHara.

 

[Riverfront]

siedenberg, must go. I actually like the lucic deal better then the hamilton deal. I think Collin Miller will be a good defensemen down the road. Always like Martin Jones as a goaltender.

Chara is our albatross. Chia's enduring gift.

 

[eyetest is useless]

people who say dougie is weak defensively are just wrong and stupid. He might not be great, but easily above average. Combine it with his great offensive impact and we just traded away a star player. Nothing new for the bruins, of course.

 

[Hali33]

If you want to see weak defensively, tune into the Bruins 2015-2016 season and beyond.

[Dueling Banjos]

Bye bye star, welcome Who?

 

[Shaun]

griffin reinhart just got the same return as dougie pretty much.

great asset manageent

 

[bob27]

Worse return than Griffin Reinhart who hasn't played a single NHL game. Unfathomable.

And if they were serious about being a playoff-team, they would have traded #15 for Reinhart+?

Something is seriously wrong.

Flames fan here I come in peace. I haven't seen may Boston games what kind of player can we expect from DH? Good luck with your picks.

Too soon... I think?

It'll be too soon in 50 years.

Franchise D.

You got a solid top pairing D man. Not very physical but good none the less.

 

[Pia8988]

Franchise D.

Yep, and he's going to be on the 2nd pairing playing next to Russell. He's going to be great next year.

Brodie-Giordano
Russell-Hamilton

One of the best top 4's in the NHL

Franchise defenseman in training.

Offensively, has all the skills. Can skate, pass and shoot.
Defensively, shows ever increasing flashes of great play. Makes typical mistakes you'd expect from a 21 yr old. Advanced stats are off the charts.

He's still growing into his frame too, only going to get bigger and more physical.

He logged 22 min a night as the Bruins #1D last year and didnt look overmatched or out of place in the least

 

[mikelvl]

It's amazing how this franchise has been ruined, gutted, and decimated in two freakin years. Disgraceful. Bring back sandy Moger

...

This thread at its limit.

Gonna suggest we move this conversation to the Press Conference thread, or the "What is Sweeney Doing" thread, or the "bringing back the identity" thread, etc.
