My favourite part of that trade was Bruins fans holding tightly to their one last reasoning as to why the trade was good for them at the end, right before he signed his current deal
Boston fans: Yeah, enjoy the trade until he's signed, the reason he left is because his contract demands START at $7.5 million a year. So yeah, great job Flames fans.
Brad Treliving: We've signed Hamilton to a $5.75 AAV contract
Media: Turns out the ridiculous contract demands were literally only for Boston so that they'd trade him
Boston fans: Well.....hockey was fun while it lasted.
