Its mind-blowing how far this teams management has dragged a young, Stanley cup champion.
Get rid of every fucking one of them.

Neely and Sweeney are fucking incompetent. It truly is all of the alcohol tonight.
It's patriots and a bunch of shit in this town right now.

Some teams didn't even seem aware Hamilton was being aggressively shopped today. Bruins auction process for a player this good was flawed.

This was all set up by Chiarelli's failures though. Signing Chris Kelly's of the world and overpaying his own players.
Well, they just set the franchise back 10 years.
Who the fuck is going to play defense for them? They're AWFUL on the back end now.

Screwing Chia HAD to have been part or all of the motivation.
EDIT: To send DH to Calgary in particular.
This is brutal. How do they get less than an what they would get if he signed an offer sheet? They would need to add substantial value to that to pry the #3 from AZ. In what world is Hamilton plus another #1 and players worth more than Hanifan? I expect Hanifan to be better than Dougie, but not in present value terms.
Total insanity. Why don't they just go ahead and trade Bergy and the rest and go on a 10 year plan.

Took all of 1 move to truly fucking despise Sweeney. Now I think I hate one of my former idols in Cam Neely.

I just can't understand the incompetence. This isn't a trade any person makes. Period. Not a kid on a video game, not a GM on an NHL team, not an arm chair GM...nobody. I'm totally baffled by what just happened. I don't care what happens going forward. I will never trust this management again.
I would love to be in the room with Calgary's management right now... I wonder how much shit they are talking about the Bruins front office.
What an absolute joke.

Hearing the Bruins asked for good young players and picks from other teams for Hamilton. Good get for Calgary.

Are we in this cap situation because of Don Sweeney? Did he hand out contracts left and right overpaying players and give NMC clauses out?
In terms of hockey expertise here in RMPS, I'm definitely low man on the totem pole.
Even I can tell this is total fucking dogshit.

That doesn't even make sense. What is the point of trading him RIGHT NOW? Let the offer sheets come in and if nothing comes in, then sign him to a one year deal and be done with it.smastroyin said:
They held all of the cards, this is fucking ridiculous.
Did Mike O'Connell advise Sweeney on how NOT to shop around your best asset. I can't even process this.
WTF

Bruins were also offered much higher first rounders than 15th overall, which adds to strangeness of the trade.

Person? You couldn't use cheat codes and con a computer GM to make this trade. Completely horrendous.Kenny F'ing Powers said:
What cap situation? The room to re-sign Dougie? This trade isn't motivated by being up against the cap. They can sign him today if they want to. This is a hockey trade through and through and it sucks.jsinger121 said:
What NCM is preventing us from making a trade? Lucic has given his teams, no one else is blokcing a trade. This is pure incompetence, it's ok, you can say it without your untrue talking points you like to spew.
No but he could've made a shit ton of other moves that don't involve getting rid of a 22 year old defenseman.jsinger121 said:

They could've signed Hamilton to an $8 million deal right now and dealt off other pieces.

But be honest, the real reason you know that it is a bad trade for the Bruins is because it's a trade that involves the Bruins.
This is the fucking guy you hold on to. And we get THAT return? Everything old is new again on Causeway Street.
They better not be doing this because they'd rather keep Lucic.
Cause you know, DON'T POKE THE BEAR

I'm a bit of RMPS outsider as well, but this seems like a horrific deal on the surface.
This is horrendous.
I'm still holding onto some hope we acquire Marner and Edler, as mentioned up thread.

I'm done. Call me when Neely leaves. Seguin now this? Has any team in sports ever won a trade so lopsided (Kessel trade) and then given away the players for so little?
I'm sure we'll hear some stuff from Cam about how they looked at a ton of video and just didn't think Dougie scrapped in the corners enough to be worth a deal.
I am anxiously awaiting the Bruins' justification for this trade. It's unbelievable how they fucked up this team in just a few short years.
Please never let Belichick retire.
As the first big move for the new GM? Woof. I'm sure several media puke-pieces are on their way about Dougie lacking a killer instinct or something because he had a nice upbringing.
This is a teamkiller, plain and simple. In one fell swoop the FO shows they are shit negotiators, poor planners, and generally incompetent fucks. There are several Hamilton trades that can theoretically make sense. This one isn't within a fucking light year of that list. Torches and pitchforks time.
