Teach me how to (sign/offer sheet) Dougie

[j44thor]

Compensation is from the next calendar year draft, thus you don't know what you are giving up or getting.

There is no fucking chance Edmonton offers this years first pick for Dougie, never mind throwing in 2 more firsts. That's crazy talk. Edmonton wouldn't trade that pick for much of anything I would think right now. When you have the next generational player drop in your lap, you don't trade it.

Except the current GM of Edmonton has a history of doing just that....   :barf:

Seguin was not a generational talent.

yea to be fair the ankle man is right, Seguin is not a generational talent. However, the trade was still awful, that does not excuse it.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Agreed

@MikeColeNESN: Dreger just said on TSN in Edmonton that teams have "talked to Boston about the potential of a trade" for Dougie Hamilton.

No shit teams have talked about a trade for Dougie.  Doesn't necessarily mean the B's have responded.

Basically, Dougie wants to get paid. Teams have called but he doesn't say how serious the Bruins are, only that the contract will be steep (more than Pietrangelo) and who knows if they can pay it. Dreger says he wouldn't be surprised if Edmonton called and Chiarelli has considered an offer sheet. Nothing new there.

(As an aside: @nicholsonhockey is a good follow for the next week or 2. One stop shopping for the legit rumors out there)
