I hope that Hamilton does indeed negotiate with the Flames in good faith and that we can sign him to a reasonable offer. I am excited to get such a caliber of player on the team, and the icing on the cake would be a good contract to go with it.

Good contract would be icing, cherry, gravy and bacon all on top.


Wow to today.

[jemjey]

was already excited today for the draft... Now I'm absolutely elated! (literally doing the dougie for the past 30 minutes).

so awesome how this worked out. As others have said, thanks Sven for making it possible and giving your number up for someone more deserving.

I am so excited for next year. Can't wait to see Dougie in flames silks and playing in our system! I think he could really break out even more next year with the way Bob gets our D-men to jump into the plays.

FINALLY FLAMES FANS ARE BEING REWARDED

I think this deserves Scorch

Maybe we can recoup a 2nd for some of our extra D-depth with the acquisition of Hamilton.

What do you think about 8/44 for Hamilton? 5.5 per.

[nik-]

how legit is the source on that 5.5 asking price out of the Hamilton camp?

I just can't see it coming in at that price tag.

Good trade.

Can we drop the puck and start the 2015/2016 season tomorrow!

hmm I guess this could seem like a pretty legit source

Had Bruins paid Hamilton $5.5 million, he would be making same salary as Stamkos in 15-16.

Boston Globe Bruins beat reporter. God, I hope it ends up true.

I would do the 8 x $44 in a heartbeat.

If the cap keeps going up that will be minimal money for a d-man.

You know this is a pretty good trade when even Ryan Lambert can't find a bad thing to say about it.

I presume that hes at the draft 'Big Game Hunting?'

To be fair, on paper, I don't doubt the Oilers offered more, or were ready with an offer sheet July 1.

But Boston wanted no part of trading with/dealing their former GM (and who knows, maybe Hamilton had some unoffical say too), no matter the price.

I'd like to think that the Bruins took the Flames (/rivals of the Oilers) offer (sounds as if Treliving had been talking to Boston for a while) in part due to that.

I just find it hard to believe that a team, other then the Oilers, wouldn't have given up more than what the Flames did for Hamilton, so there has to be some back story....if it's simply out of spite to Chirelli, yes, thank you Sweeney!

Another boring Sean Monahan gem

Or, you know, been making the same as Jeff Petry. $5.5m isn't that much money these days in the NHL anymore.

Pretty petty argument that the Bruins or KPD are trying to use to justify. Has to be another reason Hamilton wanted out.

I'm sure we'll start hearing about Hamilton's shady lifestyle and excessive partying any time now. Seems to be Boston's MO.

[Jonrox]

Could just be that every GM in the league is pissed off about the Oilers again picking first and is just screwing with them now.

Treliving says he plans to talk to Hamilton's agent, J.P. Barry, tonight, and he's not worried about signing him to a new contract.
