Likely smug thinking he would offer sheet Hamilton, that and sewing the last of the McDavid jerseys for the Oiler draft circle jerk tonight.

As McKenize said, the return is a bit better then the offer sheet, which BOS likley seemed to have a pretty good idea was coming (likely from the Oilers) and the only option that was left.
Rather then the shame of having their former GM take a player away from them, trade him instead for a marginal upgrade. And, trade him to that team's rival for good measure.
