Rumor: Possible trades with #3 OA

[XX]

The old "number 3 is available" to see the interest of some teams in the week leading up to the draft; then as you get close to the draft time, you go with the "nah we won't trade it" just to press one of those teams to make a last minute silly offer "that cannot be refused".

Then you draft a kid that can't play next year and get fired because your team is dog**** personified.

Hamilton for 15, 45, and 52. Wow.

There must've been an offer sheet close. Hell, it was probably Calgary. They likely had an offersheet signed by Hamilton and told the Bruins they'd be able to take a better package for this draft, save some face, and avoid the ugliness.

There you have it. They were leveraged.

Good on Treliving.

Does Boston now package 14 and 15?

From Wiki:

On June 26, 2015, Hamilton was traded to the Vancouver Canucks by horribly incompetent GM Don Sweeney

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Good on Treliving.

Giordano - Brodie - Hamilton - Wideman; that is a solid top four

I haven't seen an appealing CBJ proposal.

Hypothetical: Krejci, 14, 15, Calgary 2nd for 3

I am envisioning that GMDM is asking for #8, Anisimov, and either Dano or Wennberg.

Columbus is countering with #8, Anisimov, Rychel

Am hoping that once draft starts, we look at a swap of #3, #59, and AHL F (Lessio/Szwarz/Gaudet???) for #8, Anisimov, Wennberg, and late pick (maybe 6th round?). That would seem to meet right in the middle of value. Or something that may even involve #30 for #58. Some balance has to be made somewhere...

Not interested in a pile of "stuff" from Columbus. We've got our own pile of "stuff". We need to pick a star player at #3. Columbus isn't offering any of those.

This would be interesting too...

I might do JUST #3 for that return.

You don't think Dano or Wennberg can be a top 6 F?

Yes I do. But I said star player.

What on top of 14/15 gets BOS 3 OV?

Literally nothing that I would want.

Only if they acquire another top 10 pick, would it make sense.

 

[rt]

8th is a good spot...

McDavid Eichel and Hanifin will be gone. Strome, Marner, Provorov, Barzal, Werenski, Rantanen are all appealing. And that's actually nine names. So we'd have a pick between two of those. Possibly three of them if Crouse sneaks in ahead of us.

 

[BUX7PHX]

I don't know that I'd do JUST #3 for that return.

True, I think that there may be something else involved on our end, but there is balking on part of picks or players involved...

Since I am horrible with trade value, I figured including the major components would be enough...

But let's also look at this from what the Flames gave up for Hamilton. Mid first rounder (essentially Wennberg), two 2nd rounders (basically the price for Anisimov and moving up 5 spots in a top heavy draft). Maybe? Maybe not?

8th, Wennberg and Anisimov is appealing. Jackets fans would melt. Haha.

I would do that; very tough to beat as an offer.

Anisimov should be top-6 in the interim; we can move him at deadline for a late 1st or early 2nd.

Wennberg is likely to turn into a bona fide 1/2 C.

Nah, teams aren't even allowed to talk to RFA's until June 30th. And can't sign an offer sheet until July 1st.

Boston must have really been at odds with Hamilton over a new contract.
