Man, even I feel bad for Bruins fans.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lol Bruins

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Is Boston just straight up rebuilding now?

Seems like it.


Let's Laugh at them

 

[Foggy]

HOT DAMN!

 

[zroid]

so Dallas and Calgary won the Kessel trade

cool

 

[TheKaeptain]

The draft is at 4pm Best Coast time right?

 

[Yawnier]

Flames are making out like bandits

... I feel better about the Kessel trade now

 

[yodathesoda]

Boston Pizza fleece job.

Best D corps in the league in Calgary.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

That's...not much really. Shit if that's all that was needed to get Hamilton then Edmonton or Winnipeg should have been all over this.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Lol

And hey we got Reilly!

 

[ZeroGravity]

The draft is at 4pm Best Coast time right?

Yes

 

[Curufinwe]

Is "FLEECED" acceptable for this trade? Cause I think it is.

 

[GSG Flash]

Don't like that trade at all from the Bruins pov.

Hamilton is a great pickup for the Flames though.

Bruins have turned Seguin and Hamilton - two of the top 10 players at their positions - in to Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, and 3 picks.

Oof.

OOF.

OOOOOF!

 

[Calamari41]

All GMs are fucking drunk

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yes

Nice I can watch some of it before I go on my date.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Sanjuro says he never would've fit in anyway

 

[Acid08]

Kevin Bieksa are you motherfucking shitting me.

 

[Fata1moose]

Oof.

OOF.

OOOOOF!

That's like Forsberg for Erat bad.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

That's like Forsberg for Erat bad.

Or McDonagh for Gomez

 

[zroid]

Boston is terrible

at least Dougie is out of the Atlantic

congrats Flamez. Treliving obviously knows what he's doing... although I'm sure 28 other GMs would have made that trade as well.

 

[MikeRahl]

Wasn't the general consensus that the Bruins weren't going to be able to (or didn't want to match) any offer sheet that came in for Hamilton?

1st + 2 2nds is better than the compensation for a 5.5 mil to 7.3 mil offer sheet, so they actually made out better with this trade than if he signs an offer sheet in that range.

And they get the picks this year, in a strong draft, as opposed to next year in what is supposed to be a weaker draft.

Or am I missing something here...?

 

[dem]

The Rangers are turning down a 1st rounder for CAM TALBOT

and the Bruins are accepting it for DOUGIE HAMILTON


What is going on? My head is going to explode. I need to leave work.

 

[Terrordactyl]

WHAT

THE

FUCK

FLEECED I NEVER THOUGHT ID GET TO SAY THIS

 

[bonesmccoy]

Surreal.

I remember thinking how painful it would be to have Seguin and Hamilton running tings on the Bruins for the next 10 years.

And now they're gone.

No, you're about right. It's a little better than losing him to an offer sheet. But it's still worse than what Hamilton is worth overall.

 

[Spl1nter]

This is just crazy.

 

[TUSR]

Wtf Boston

 

[Syrinx]

3 and a half more hours for more dominoes to fall.

 

[Samyy]

Bahahahaha

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Bruins trade all their picks for EDMs first rounder

Pls. I just want mayhem.

 

[Fei]

Holy shit :lol Well, no need to worry about Boston being contenders for a long time.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Bruins weaker? Good.

 

[dem]

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle · 24s25 seconds ago
Bruins were also offered much higher first rounders than 15th overall, which adds to strangeness of the trade.

 

[Cake Boss]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

BAWSTONNN HAHAHAHAHHA

 

[ShinRPGamer]

FLEECED I NEVER THOUGHT ID GET TO SAY THIS

So how does it feel to be on the winning side of what might be the most lopsided deal today?

[Red_Man]

Hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhah Boston

What a joke of a team, first Seguin now Hamilton

 

[nubcake]

Oof.

OOF.

OOOOOF!

I'm glad I'm on break so no one at work can see the boner this post gave me.

Oof back to the GM market Boston.

 

[Fata1moose]

Man wtf

I wonder if we were one of them? Fucking Boston.

If they couldn't figure out a way to keep Dougie instead of getting rid of their cap problem contracts they already fucked up massively. this is a fleecing no matter how you slice it.

 

[DopeyFish]

A good ole Burke fleecing

That New GM Got Tricked

 

[Terrordactyl]

This is exactly the sort of movement I wanted to see, without sacrificing too much. This is literally better than any trade I could have fantasized about.

Higher price if you're in the same conference. Possibly why. Or the other teams didn't bundle two 2nds?

But wow. Great pick up for the Flames. Unlikely that these picks will come back to haunt them.
