Am I in tinfoil hat territory for thinking that the Bruins might have sent him to Calgary for a lesser deal just to spite Chiarelli/Edmonton, with an unspoken assumption that Calgary will "pay them back" for it sometime in a future trade?

I think Hamilton could be really good in the new 3-on-3 overtime! Defensively skilled, offensively potent!

Dougie has to sign the offer sheet. I doubt he signs an offer sheet before even talking with us about a contract.

I wasn't at all. They give up one of those two and Flames fans would have freaked bigtime. Not a chance that would have happened.

Give it to him with term! $9.5 million for Brodie and Hamilton combined would be an absolute steal.

Dear Western Conference:
Notice has been served -- Flames just got younger, bigger, and faster.
I'm looking at you Anaheim.

The best part is that even after giving up all of that don't the Flames still pick 3 times in the top 90? Great asset management by Brad and the boys. How much of this comes back to playing hard ball with Cammalleri last year against teams at the deadline? I often think back to that quote by Burke about sending the message to other GM's that Calgary is a team that will stick to it's guns.

In conversation with Dougie Hamilton, #Flames captain Mark Giordano has already called to welcome him to Calgary.

Give that amount of money on a long as possible term contract!

5.5 million a year!? That fantastic! If Flames sign Hamilton for this, will make the trade that much more sweeter!

Hamilton said the trade hasn't sunk in yet and that it almost feels like his draft day over again.
Ryan Leslie @ryanleslie73
Just spoke w D Hamilton. Said he's been following the #Flames, excited for the C of Red & Giordano already called him. Meant a lot to him.

The beauty of this deal is that this is a defenceman that we don't ourselves
