Confirmed with Link: Dougie to Calgary

I still don't see any reasoning behind this deal.

You don't deal 22y top-D. Especially not for picks.

I would have traded any players not named Bergeron before Hamilton. Very odd trade.

Can we flip 15-45-52 for Seth Jones?

 

[Pia8988]

I hate all the analysts calling htis a rebuild. You don't ****ing trade 22 year olds to rebuild.

 

[PatriceBergeron]

let's knock it off with the worst trade ever BS, that's just not true.

The trade sucks, it doesn't suck THAT bad

It's in the Seguin and Thornton level of suckitude. Not sure how much worse it gets than that.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Well, everyone's getting their wish. Team being blown up.

Maybe they're trying to rebuild the late 90's early 00's Bruins...

What looks bad now might not look bad after. I totally understand the reaction. I feel that Lucic deal is so much better. But...you mix a couple of first picks....if there's one year you need to retool....it's THIS year. Doesn't look good for next year....but wouldn't you deal a great 5 to 7 years in 2 or 3 years for a great performance next year? Just wait till everything is done. People, trades aren't just about an actual trade but the WHOLE picture when all is said and done. Wait at least till the end of the day today. But then, you'll even have to reassess tomorrow.....at UFA time....at the end of the summer....Things might change quite fast.

Again, not a fan of the Hamilton trade as it is....but there does seem to be some kind of plan here. And at the very least, you have a GM who will force things and not wait till something happens. Force too much? Remains to be seen.

I'd love it if someone can come up with a scenario wherein trading Hamilton makes sense as part of a master plan. Is the plan for a firesale rebuild? For the team to try to stay in contention? As a pure cap-dump? Everyone feel free to use their imaginations.

Which also means there's no way Julien makes it through the season.

 

[Pia8988]

I don't think I would be able to handle a Rask trade.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

let's knock it off with the worst trade ever BS, that's just not true.

The trade sucks, it doesn't suck THAT bad

We just managed to trade DOWN from Hamilton, a top 5 talent in his draft who miraculously fell to us at 9, for a #15 pick.

#15.

#15.

Awful.

We will be lucky for the 15 to ever even be a core player let alone a franchise one.

If he was seeking 7 million then thats too much. That number has been floated out there.

Is this guy legit: Joe Haggerty ‏@HackswithHaggs 5m5 minutes ago
Per a source, Edmonton offered B's 16th, 33rd & 57th picks in this draft, but Boston wanted Darnell Nurse as part of the package for DH27

I already felt bad for you guys - now it looks like you're being actively sabotaged by your front office.

Its ****ed up we didn't bite the bullet and add a pick for Chia's ego to get Nurse back for Dougie.


I take Nurse and am happy with an upgrade.

Coyotes offered other top prospects plus picks... Felt it was a really strong offer to Boston on Hamilton


So why did we say no?

 

[chrisab123]

I don't think I would be able to handle a Rask trade.

No no no no...stop this crap right now. I was joking about Rask for the 16th

And two seconds in a deep draft, let's not act like it was just a 1st. Still an awful trade. Nowhere near the worst ever.

Montreal traded Ryan McDonagh + for Scott Gomez for cripes sake

 

[NinthSpoke06]

Good trade.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Emperor Nero move.

 

[JAD]

true at first glance maybe Flames win this trade - as of today.

but the true ramifications of this trade and the LAK trade will not be known today and maybe not still for a few years.

worst trade ever? doubt it ... and many people here may be singing a different tune by 2018. I know ... you want instant gratification ... and waiting is the hardest part, but ... at least wait until the start of the season and see what the team looks like than rather than being in full panic mode. seesh

So in 24 months Bruins have traded the best forward from the 2010 draft and best D-man from the 2011 draft and likely won't get a top player in return for either of them.

What a joke.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

it's too much right now, but won't be in as little as one year.

If he'd have taken 8x7 then you bite the bullet and do it.

Even if you get Hanifin to replace him you're going to have this same exact problem in 3-4 years.

Probably something to do with money. If we are back to the Sinden Bruins then this probably needs more play

 

[RaybCamn]

I like Hamilton but I think he was asking for too much money and for too many years.
I think think Sweeney is trying to so what Pc should have done at the trade deadline. PC screwed this all up and Sweeney is left with the mess. Not every deal is gonna be great. He is still got alot more things to do. I wonder if Chara is next. JUst a question would you trade the first round pick for 3 firsts.

Don't have the cap room to sign your good young player? I guess you ****in' trade him.

Meanwhile older players past their usefulness get to stay and ferment and drag the team into the crapper. Fan****ingtastic.

Chicago wins three cups by trading their role, depth and older players for cap space. Bruins become a joke by trading their younger players for cap space.
