I hope we can get Dougie signed soon. I would hate for a team to offer sheet him on Wednesday
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.
Or we just keep Wideman and have one of the deepest defensive corps in the league.
I hope we can get Dougie signed soon. I would hate for a team to offer sheet him on Wednesday
What is that simulator?
Oooooh.
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.
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.
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.
