Though I will ask you this...in regards to being asked if Hamilton wanted out, what do you think BT meant when he stated this (as AC already posted)?

Only since you asked, so out of mutual respect. There have been many examples of top athletes that seldom hang out with their team mates at bars etc.
I will give you a perfect example one of the Greatest players ever my personal #1 Bobby Orr was known for not cutting it up often with his team mates when he was younger. Espo, Bobby, Cherry, Samderson have all discussed that in their books and Interviews. I took Orr until around 1974 to come out of his shell.
As for BT I don't know what he said post trade but according to some on CP he said there were other reasons and Hamilton didn't want to be here? If BT really said that then that is petty of Treliving, a GM should not take the bait and take the high road. Dougie was a good guy we hate to see him go, he scored some big goals but we needed to move in a different direction and CAR really wanted Dougie and Ferly and we really wanted Elias and Noah. The players we traded will fit in well with CAR and we are extremely excited about the talent we have added.
If Treliving stuck to j(ust that) everybody is happy and he doesn't open the door to gossip.
