There's likely more to it than just that. Dougie was stapled to the bench throughout the bruins game 7 comeback vs the leafs & throughout that playoff run.
Further, cite one other case where a team moved a 22 year old stud d man for picks because they couldn't sign him. If the bruins wanted him, they would have made other moves to keep him. Even if it meant matching an offer sheet (which almost never happen).
When it came down to asset management, Dougie was cut loose. From the looks of it, they don't miss him.
