GDT: 2015 NHL Entry Draft (At Least we're not Boston) - Round 1

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

If it is indeed only a first, that is one less team to worry about. I can't believe Boston would essentially concede a season.

 

[ShootIt]

It has to be Giordano coming back, I don't think Calgary could afford him.

Makes zero sense for the Bruins then.
(for Gio) He's asking for 9 million

 

[spacemanatee]

yeah odd with hamilton to the flames. they'll have a real scary team soon.

Calgary has loads of capspace, whereas Boston..

Unless they're just looking to the deadline and trading Giordano again.

edit: Wait what, only a 1st round pick? Makes zero sense.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Read (not confirmed) that it was just for a 1st rounder. If that is the case, then its a steal for the Flames. Unless Boston does something amazing, their defense is going to be bad.

It won't be. It will be 15th + a somewhat significant piece.

If true good news for us

I know, but I mean I can't believe it! Hamilton for a mid 1st? What an awful trade lol

 

[IceManCat]

I'm listening to TSN 690 they said it was an offer sheet

 

[SoupyFIN]

Still, what the hell? Surely they could have received more than that?

Just going to post that. Awesome deal for Calgary. Why cant we ever get that lucky???

 

[SoupyFIN]

Flames have

1st
2nd
2nd (Canucks)
2nd (Caps)
3rd
3rd (Caps)
5th
6th
7th

That's a pretty poor haul for a guy like Hamilton.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Ok so it was an offer sheet. So Boston gets (based on his salary) $5,478,986 to $7,305,316 First-, second-, and third-round pick

So Hamilton to Calgary for a 2016 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I still love it for the Flames

 

[Gentle Man]

Man, hamilton would have made our D-Core so good too..aww man

Offer sheet in June?

No its not. Its a 1st, and two 2nd rounders. Offer sheets arent allowed to be signed until free agency starts, I believe.

 

[pb1300]

I would have given up our 1st this year, and then some, for Hamiltion, but I doubt Boston would deal him to us.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Oh, you're right, 15th, 45th, and 52nd

Still love it

 

[spacemanatee]

mabye the bruins are going for hanifin? 14th + 15th + 2nds, does it get you to the 3rd OA?

 

[SoupyFIN]

There's no way around it, that's a terrible trade for Boston. Their d-core is even more screwed now.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I don't understand why? Boston's defense is terrible. I agree with that person who mentioned the Coyotes, I'm guessing they're gunning for Hanafin, or else this makes no sense.

 

[SoupyFIN]

 

[IceManCat]

Yeah this is true

 

[IceManCat]

Total steal for the Flames. What is Boston thinking

 

[angry_treefrog]

So Boston trades Kessel, gets picks and drafts two studs in Sequin and Hamilton...

... and then trades them for pennies on the dollar.

Go Boston go!
