At worst, Sweeney said that he felt they made a very generous and fair offer to Dougie but it became apparent that he wasn't going to fit in Boston going forward (paraphrase, of course).
That's as specific in its vagueness that anybody officially in the organization made it.
Boston has a strange history of trading away its franchise talent. Esposito, Thornton, Seguin, Kessel, Hamilton. All extenuating circumstances I'm sure, but it's a crazy pattern.
