They need a #1 RW so I would be willing to trade

Nyquist+Marchenko/Sproul+Pick
or
Mantha+Pick

but I think they want someone more physical than Nyquist which would be Mantha but he is not a #1 RW. I dont think we have the best offer for them tbh.

Dougie Hamilton isn't a great defensemen right now. His trade value has tanked. I wouldn't even consider trading Nyquist AND Sproul for him. Not worth it.

Agreed. Unless they're retaining cap.

5.75 is pretty steep for a 2nd pairing defeseman

5.75 million is a fair price for a defenseman that scores 10-12 goals and 40-45 points.

Not sure why people are trying to dump on Dougie, he'd be a great add. Might even prefer him to Trouba.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Interesting that he would be floated again so soon. I like the skill set, but two organizations having to pull the plug on you at his age makes me curious. The guys in Boston didn't exactly weep that he was trying to force his way out.

Hamilton is damn good. Calgary is a **** team. It's inconceivable that a team with Gio, Brodie, and Hamilton are as bad as they are. They're one of the worst coached teams in the league though, so.

I'd take Hamilton in a heart beat.

The guy's, what, 23? He hasn't been posting stupid pictures to instagram with wads of cash in his hand or been arrested after a night at the club...I'd roll the dice on him without much of a problem. Really curious what Calgary's asking price would be.

At the time of the trade, there were rumors that he was absolutely despised by his Bruins teammates.

But were any of those "Rumors" printed by a legitimate source??
Else its just "explaining away" why he was traded at all.

Yeah I'd be all for that, assuming the price is a little more reasonable. We'd get a good, young dman, and it would also buy us a little time to be patient to find another top dman later on. Decent stopgap and he still has good potential. That would be huge in repairing the D.

From what I understand, the rumour was that one GM had inquired with Treliving about his availability. He's in no way being shopped around, and I doubt Treliving really has any interest in moving him. That being said, I would like to see the Flames pick up a skilled winger, and a deal around Hamilton and Nyquist would interest me. But very unlikely he's going to go anywhere. Also, he had a really rough start to last year, and that seems to have shot down his value on the boards. However, he had an above average second half, and has been fine this year, and so I'd imagine his perceived value here on HF and his actual value has quite the disparity.

Weren't there rumors of that with Seguin, too? Might partly be the clubhouse. Or he's a jerk. Either way, I'd still be interested in him.

Again a lot of it are rumors, but the tone around it seemed different. The he needs to grow up seemed to be the vibe with Seguin. Hamilton seemed to be the room doesn't like him. Not like he is a young kid with discipline problems but just a guy that didn't seem to have many fans within the room.

 

[Claypool]

Hamilton is damn good. Calgary is a **** team.

Just like Tyler Myers in Buffalo? If Hamilton was as good as you suggest he'd still be in Boston. He's be a cornerstone player to build around. They didn't mind shipping him out. He's a good defenseman that probably needs to be a #3 on a good team.

Seguin?

Tatar+Smith+pick

 

[Wood Stick]

Man I looked at the stat sheet tonight and he was 5th in D for TOI. Is he on the third pairing?

 

[Ulysses31]

Tatar+Smith+pick

I don't know how good Hamilton is but these are the 2 players to be moved if a deal is to be done for a D man.

Would not pull the trigger now though mid-streak, team is rolling

 

[Tatar]

Yeah he's been on the third pair for most of the year so far. I was in Chicago when the Flames beat the Hawks Monday and he had a good game, it's just really odd to see someone of his size shy away from physical play.

I like him for offense, Trouba for defence, and Fowler for a combo of both.

But he's not worth Tatar++

Calgary has two top 25 defenseman in the league on their roster (IMO, even though Brodie has had rough start), in Brodie and Giordano, so different situation there than here. Also why Hamilton may even be potentially available to begin with.

Hamilton has played 19:05 so far, not really 3rd pairing minutes.

Tatar+Smith+Detroit's 2017 2nd round pick for Dougie Hamilton take it or leave it Brad Treliving.

 

[Probert]

No thanks on Dougie Hamilton. He's a good D-man, but he's not a significant enough upgrade to be worth the asking / offering prices I've seen here.

 

[SirloinUB]

Interestingly enough, I was listening to the sports talk radio station out of Calgary, and they were quite frustrated with Dougie Hamilton's performance. I watched Calgary's first two games and was pretty underwhelmed with Dougie. Granted slow starts happen, but he doesn't strike me as the type of guy Id give up premium assets and draft picks for.

 

[Frk It]

But... why?

And odd to me that Calgary radio would key in on Hamilton, when Brodie has been just as bad (I'd say worse) and is a better player with higher expectations.
