Just odd from their perspective. If I was a Bruins fan, I'd be pissed.

This is the first of two things that confuse me about this trade. If that was the ask how does Boston not find a way to get it done? Something is either up with Hamilton or Boston is full on incompenent.
The second is how 28 other teams don't beat that deal. Oilers specifically included. If they settled for a lesser deal just to spite another team - that's also incompentence on Boston's part.
Great deal for Calgary, confused as to why Boston has done this unless there's something deeper.
