Again why trade Hamilton if Lucic gets moved??? Dougie should be used in a rebuild as the core piece of the blue line if they go that route. If they are going to restock and contend then it makes even less sense.

Oh son of a bitch. 
 
Did we just go from one GM who had no interest in thinking about the cap future, to one who is so scared about it that he's going to give up Dougie for a shitty fucking return?

I can't even imagine a scenario where I find out the return and I'm not instantly giving up on the direction this team is going.

Well, Calgary has a worse pick than the Bruins, so what the fuck is Calgary giving up?

This franchise really has had the death by a thousand cuts approach to team building since winning the cup.

The problem has to be Neely at this point no? Regardless this teams management is a fucking disaster.

Almost wonder whether this was motivated by the desire not to get burned by Chia in an offer sheet situation which Boston couldn't match.  Maybe they just said "F you Chiarelli, we'll ship him to your rivals".

WTF??!!??!

@mirtle: Expect Bruins to get Flames 15th overall pick in Hamilton deal. Boston was talking with multiple teams with a pick in that range.

if this is even one of the smallest reasons for this trade, the Bruins are in even more trouble than we thought

I think I'm done. This team has no direction and pays the wrong guys.

Yep. Calgary isn't trading for someone the age/cost of Hamilton and giving away anything useful on their roster.
 
I'm pretty sure I'll be livid when the details are released.

If Gaudreau/15 are involved, it could be part of a bigger deal to package 14/15++ to get to #3.
 
At that point, moving Lucic for Edler doesn't seem too crazy.
 
If it ends up as Hamilton, Lucic, and #14 for Hanifin, Gaudreau, and Edler... I'm not that mad. But that's real unlikely

This team is has something against having top talent on its team apparently. Jumbo Joe, Seguin, Hamilton. Let's continue to trade away our fucking studs, for dimes on the dollar.

And yes I know we don't know for what yet, but I'm assuming it will be more junk because that's what they do.
