Trade Proposal Thread - The "Can We Just Trade Therrien?" Edition

[ClasslessGuy]

if that were the case why wouldnt they have just traded Chara? this trade literally makes no sense

This and keep the 22 year old..

This and keep the 22 year old..

They're gonna make more deals. Thsts obvious

 

[OnTheRun]

who cares? they got TERRIBLE value for Hamilton, Hamilton alone is worth the 3rd overall pick and then some. the best case scenario for Hanifin is that he turns into a player like Hamilton.

Its irrelevant. What are the chances that 3rd pick develops into a better player than Hamilton? Even if that 3rd pick do end up being better someday, it'll take a while and by that time, several of their key guys will be gone.

Its irrelevant how many picks they have right now. And they cant even package these picks for help now due to the cap with so many bad contracts.

The Bruins had no money to resign Hamilton and he was a likely target for offer sheets already.

Lesser of 2 evils right there.

 

[Habsawce]

LOL they were offered more and turned it down. What in the actual **** is going on.

I understand but they want the 3rd to pick... a D

What did they offer?

Looks like Lucic on his way out

 

[TT1]

so Boston traded Seguin and Hamilton for Eriksson, Reilly Smith, J. Morrow, #15, #45 and #52

Apparently they were offered a higher pick than 15, but that means they could have been offered the 11 pick and that is all. They picked up an additional 2 2nd rounders.

you do w/e you can to keep Hamilton, trade Chara and Lucic and let dumb GM's overpay for them

No excuse, they should have gotten a lot better. Dump other guys , whatever, terrible.

I understand that just fine.

This trade is dumb because this doesnt fix the bad contracts the Bs have. This is a solution to minimize the losses on the short term, but its a very bad deal regardless.

They have several overpaid guys and they should've dealt those. They should've started doing that, albeit slowly, 2 years.

You dont fix your cap issues by dealing away the young guys and keeping the older overpaid players (Lucic, Marchand are overpaid and Kreici surely isnt worth that contract, even tho he's a fine player).

Rat face next.

1st(15) + 2 2nds

Bergevin's got to get on these. I would have started with our 2015 1st, 2016 1st, and Tinordi and gone higher.

Yeah don't blame them there. 15 + 45 + 52 > 11. IMO.

 

[Habsawce]

What did they offer?

Apparently a much higher 1st round pick. And now word is all Hamilton wants is 5.5M AAV.

 

[hototogisu]

Bergevin's got to get on these. I would have started with our 2015 1st, 2016 1st, and Tinordi and gone higher.

I don't think they ever would have traded him within the division.

 

[TT1]

he cant, its already been stated that Boston asked for a ****ton more from a rival GM

 

[Ezpz]

Why can't teams outside our division have a meltdown?

 

[Habsawce]

Now they just extended McQuaid LOL! Priorities!

 

[Habs100]

Even after these 2 horrendous trades you listed, they still won the Kessel trade:

Kessel for Eriksson, Reilly Smith, J. Morrow, #15, #45 and #52.

Yeah when you look at it like that. But if you look at it in terms of them getting a #1C and #1D for him and ending up with that, not so good

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Apparently a much higher 1st round pick. And now word is all Hamilton wants is 5.5M AAV.

Seriously? Only that?

That makes it way worse imo, they could have easily fit him under the cap with some moves, had they wanted to.

There is no fixing for the bad contracts they have. Terrible management in the past put them on track for what happened today.

And this is why some people are sweating bullets when Kessel get mentioned on this board, the "small" mistake you do today will come bite you in the arse tomorrow.
