So...
Gio- Hamilton
Brodie- Engelland
Russell - Wideman
All pairing balanced LH/RH, and decent age range of players.
Crazyness.

Let's draft defenseman with our first 3 picks and hope one of them turns out to be as good as Dougie Hamilton!
Great draft day!

I'm stunned all it took was draft picks. Was very worried that Bennett or Gaudreau was going back. Amazing! The team is shaping up very nicely, can't wait to see what other moves Treliving will make over the summer.

On a day that was reserved for the Oilers to celebrate...the Flames appear to have stolen the show. Bring on the Battle of Alberta.

Fantastic trade, especially as the 15th pick is cursed.

The only way this makes sense is if he is asking for $8 million a year.

If he is wanting 8 million a year then the flames can either sign him or get the five first round picks as compensation.

Look at this like we are playing Super Mario Bros. 3... instead of playing the game all the way through Brad just used a warp to get to the end level.
Well done.

Worth noting that Dougie Hamilton is a right-handed shot. That's something #Flames don't have a lot of on blueline.
Randy Sportak @SUNRandySportak 3m3 minutes ago
#Flames addressed a big short-term and long-term need with Hamilton for a 1st and pair of 2nd rounders. Looks like a great deal.

Likely smug thinking he would offer sheet Hamilton, that and sewing the last of the McDavid jerseys for the Oiler draft circle jerk tonight.

As McKenize said, the return is a bit better then the offer sheet, which BOS likley seemed to have a pretty good idea was coming (likely from the Oilers) and the only option that was left.
Rather then the shame of having their former GM take a player away from them, trade him instead for a marginal upgrade. And, trade him to that team's rival for good measure.

This is why you trade Curtis Glencross at the deadline.
