Dougie Hamilton traded to Calgary - signed for 6 x $5.75

[EJPats]

How does no one know what the fuck they are getting back? 

Seriously. How is this possible?

 

[LogansDad]

Grrrrr.....not happy, but am willing to be patient....

At this point?  Knowing this team's history?
 
I think patience is out the window.  Because:
 
 

They just continue to trade the talent and keep the mediocrity on the roster. It's really unbelievable. 

 
This is absolutely true.

For what it's worth, Johnny Gaudreau has not been told about any type of trade.

[PedroSpecialK]

Only picks?
 
I'm gonna fucking puke

 

[cshea]

What?

 

[Salem's Lot]

It's not Johnny Gaudreau. It's going to be the #15 and a 2nd pair D coming back because that's what they do.

Jesus christ

All picks. Jesus Christ.

My sense is Bruins fans won't like the Hamilton return, either. Doesn't sound steep.

Flames dealt 15th overall pick to Boston and more picks as well for Dougie Hamilton

What the fuck?

FUCKING BRUTAL. 
 
Felger loves it. That says everything we need to know about it.

 

[jsinger121]

Ricky Williams type deal.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

It's not Johnny Gaudreau. It's going to be the #15 and a 2nd pair D coming back because that's what they do. 

 
Yup. #15 and Mark Giordano, here we come!

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Just blow it up. Blow the whole fucking thing up.

 

[BigMike]

I'd insist on Gaudreau but I'm betting it is Bennett/Monihan we get.

 
I would take Monahan over Gaudreau any day of the week.  
 
Poirier was talked about, but he doesn't thrill me.
 
Monahan and 15 I could live with, but we won't get that much.
 
Very sad now

“@RealKyper: Confirming all #NHL drafts picks from #Flames going to #Bruins in exchange for Hamilton”

 
All? As in no players? Or all is in every single pick they have?
 
And then maybe we can draft a defenseman that turns into Hamilton. Who's, you know, all of 22 years old.
 

 

[kenneycb]

Mutilate for Matthews?

 

[jsinger121]

I have to wonder if they are going to sell out to try to get Jack Eichel.

 

[Revkeith]

Completely unacceptable.

 

[Corsi]

Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin  59s60 seconds ago
First and 2 seconds for Hamilton.

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck this.  Can we trade the Bruins management team?  I'd even send a pick along with them.  Just fucking take them.

 

[cshea]

First and two seconds.

Offer sheet would've been better.

No, James. We don't like it. What. A. Disaster.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
 
An OK pick in the first round, and a few crapshoot second round picks?!
 
I won't be watching a single minute of this fucking team this year. Fuck you, Neely. Looks like Chia was your scapegoat, and we've all had the wool pulled over our eyes.
 
Fuck off.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

That is an abomination

 

[TheRealness]

First and two seconds.

Offer sheet would've been better.

 
Wow. That is awful. Just fucking awful. 

 

[jsinger121]

Brutal return

P. U.

 

[Salem's Lot]

There is literally nothing you could offer Buffalo for them to trade that pick.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Hey, at least the Bruins draft well ...

DIAF Cam

 

[AimingForYoko]

First and two seconds.
Offer sheet would've been better.

My God.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

 
FUCKING BRUTAL.

He's off the ship with the return.

 

[TFP]

First and two seconds.

Offer sheet would've been better.

I am fucking stunned. On what planet is this better than signing Dougie or just allowing him to be offer sheeted? They had ALL the leverage and used it to get a 50% return.
 
This is disgusting.

 

[BoSoxFink]

I'm going to say it. THE WORST TRADE IN FRANCHISE HISTORY!!!

Holy shot this is horrendous and I've lost all confidence in this organization

This was my reaction exactly

 

[Revkeith]

If I were Julien, I'd resign today. This team is being set up to fail. There's no way he isn't canned at the end of next year.

 

[The Napkin]

First and two seconds.

Offer sheet would've been better.

was just about to say the same thing
 
wtf is going on on Causeway?
 
Thank God for 2011

 

[jsinger121]

15, 45, 52 coming to the Bruins. Awful

 

[cshea]

Bruins just confirmed it. 15, 45 and 52.

 

[LogansDad]

First and two seconds.

Offer sheet would've been better.

 
Hahahahaha.  
 
I think I just became a Lightning fan.

 

[burstnbloom]

holy shit.  What a fucking terrible trade.  I'm sick. 

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I am holding out hope that they had to settle for a deal less than what the offer sheet route would have brought so that they can use the return to make a deal that involves #3 before the draft tonight.  Not holding my breath, though.

 

[AimingForYoko]

I suddenly feel a lot better about the Red Sox.

Good God.

 

[Murby]

This trade is beyond awful. Second round picks are useless to me.....I want to throw my tv.

 

[smastroyin]

That is Seriously terrible. I feel like they got themselves into a situation where they felt they needed to trade him then just took what they could get.
