So there's literally 0 evidence of this, and yet the author talks about it as proven. I mean why would you write something like this?
I'd much rather have someone like Hamilton in the dressing room than that little rat Marchant who seemed sad his fellow idiot friend Ference wasn't around.

Not only that, but it goes against that sun article posted above about what Hamilton says about his style of play.

But he is the first to admit his style of play will likely have to change dramatically given just how active all Flames rearguards are asked to be in their run and gun system.
“I think that will probably be a pretty big adjustment for me because I didn’t play that way at all in Boston,” said Hamilton, who signed a six-year, $34.5 million deal with the Flames shortly after being acquired.
“It seems there’s a pretty big green light to be able to play offence and I’m going to have to feel that out. I think my game suits that obviously but it’s just going to be an adjustment on how I play and kind of figure out how the forwards use the defence and all that.
“Last year I was playing with (Zdeno) Chara and trying to stop the other teams’ top lines and that was pretty much my job. But this team is really fast-paced and relentless and I’m excited for that.”

That sure doesn't seem like a guy who is soley focused on personal stats. Quite the opposite in fact.
And as for Hamilton not ''fitting in'' to the Bruins dressing room, it seems the Flames' room is a much more welcoming environment. I think he'll do just fine here. The media here is pretty respectful for the most part and appreciate if you simply put forth an effort most night.
