Not saying there is any truth to the Dougie rumours but people have legitimate reason to wonder if there isn't something behind the scenes.

Why can't it simply be the trading of some good players for some other good players?
That's really all it is.

I can't recall, sure there is at least one example, but when has a 24/25 year old top pairing defenseman with a good contract for multiple more years and who just led the league in scoring ever been traded?

For good reason IMO. Speculation on player's private lives is ugly at best.
In that thread there wasn't a single fan saying that Hamilton may indeed have social problems.
Now that he's leaving the Flames you have people coming out of the woodwork to hammer another nail into his coffin. |
I think the biggest thing is that pretty much the exact same situation happened again so the theories seem more likely.
