It is a similar role that his old team mate Matt Bartkowski is filling with the Canucks. In 2013-14 both Hamilton and Bartkowski play 64 games with the Bruins, each had just over 19 minutes a game and both ended up +22. Hamilton had a great 2014-15 and Bartkowski did not.
Bartkowski was signed by the Canucks to a 1 year 1.75 M deal as a UFA.
On the going out side of the trade :
The Flames gave up Barzal or Connor plus 2nds for Hamilton.
Even using Boston's picks Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson is a ppg Freshman at Boston U and Jeremy Lauzon who is the top scoring d-man in the Q and is +17 (#5 in the league).
As both the Flames and the Bruins are in re-build mode which team helped the rebuild more?
The Bruins got 9 years of low contract ELC and the Flames are paying Hamilton to be a top 2 d-man.
What will the trade look like in 2 years?

I think you're in the wrong Hamilton trade thread.
Freddie is tied for the team lead in both goals and points in Stockton right now.
