[Tofveve]

So pumped!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Don't know if anyone's seen this,

 

[Mobiandi]

Doesn't work here either

I hope we can get Dougie signed soon. I would hate for a team to offer sheet him on Wednesday

- they will.

 

[Calculon]

Salty Oilers fans (how could the Flames ruin McDavid day) are really hoping Chiarelli offer sheets Hamilton.

Thing is, unless the Flames are lowballing him, I don't see Hamilton rushing to sign one just yet.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a deal get done as early as tomorrow.

Don't worry the player actually has to sign the offersheet. For there to be any affect.

Not to mention that we will match it

The salt is strong. The Flames' brass are surely bad people for ruining McDavid day .

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Or we just keep Wideman and have one of the deepest defensive corps in the league.

this. Roll three good lines and the NHL can get rekt.

I can say that I highly doubt a contract for Dougie will be more than 7.3mil/5yrs at the very leasy lol.

 

[Perceptor]

I think we'll get a deal done fairly soon. Treliving made it known that he has a good relationship with the agent. This won't be a situation where he's going to get an offer sheet.

I still can't believe we got him. I have to look twice and do a double take

What is that simulator?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

What is that simulator?

Eastside Hockey Manager. It's a game on steam.

Oooooh.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Oooooh.

You have to install files into the game in order to get get proper logos and rosters. It's just random stuff when you start.

What happens if you try that trade from Boston's perspective, though?

 

[NHL Fanatic]

This trade was highway robbery, that theft shouldn't be legal lol. Boston with terrible asset management. Hamilton would've gone for a lot more if teams were aware he was on the open market.

 

[Perceptor]

I accepted the trade as Mr. Sweeney and, let's say the game gets it right how the fans reacted...

It was known he was available for the right offer due to Boston's cap situation. Ever since Boston missed the playoffs it was common knowledge some pieces were going to be moved out.

This wasn't like the Phaneuf deal.

lol classic just like in real life how HFBruins erupted after the trade XD

what about in NHL 15 though? what does the AI GM say from the Calgary side of things?

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that, didn't really hear about Hamilton all that much. And most insiders painted a very detailed picture that a lot of GMs had no clue he was available or at the very least, available for so cheap

Treliving prides himself on getting information, he's been talking to Boston for a month. Boston's cap situation is very public. Sweeney maybe didn't make a public announcement, but Treliving knew for sometime and all signs were there that he was available for the right offer.

I've heard multiple reports from guys like Bobby Mac and Friedman that it's possible one of Lucic or Hamilton could be moved since the season ended.

Oh yes, I know Treliving knew, and it's no surprise with the way Burkie was known to hound for trades, he probably passed that down to him. I'm just saying, it's become abundantly obvious Hamilton wasn't shopped right, that's all. No complaints here though

My main thoughts are if a GM is saying he didn't know he was available, well he only has himself to blame. Treliving is a fantastic GM and he's the reason we have Hamilton today.

Yah, Treliving deserves all the credit. And I agree, that's probably half the reason GMs were mad, not just that it wasn't broadcasted per say, but they are also kicking themselves in the ass for not overturning that stone.
