I could see that. I could also see the Bruins doing what the Bruins have been doing for years, getting offended a young player wants to negotiate and ships him out, bad mouthing him along the way.
It wouldn't surprise me if Sweeny could have signed Hamilton for the deal Treliving got him for but the Bruins seems appalled when a player wants to negotiate.
