This is stunning. It beats out the Mike Richards/Jeff Carter trades for me as the most shocking.
How is this shocking? Bruins had/have cap issues, and Hamilton wants a big payday. Hamilton rumors have been going on for weeks.
Richards/Carter had just signed massive longterm deals only to be shipped out with nary a hint of them being available.
This is the Kessel trade again. The acquiring team paid slightly more than what the cost would of been w/ an offer sheet.
