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

[ShootIt]

Mike Milbury must be their GM, incognito

 

[FlaPanthers11]

How does anyone think that's a horrible trade for Boston? They were handcuffed and did what they could. An offer sheet, which would have happened, would have left them with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd next year. Instead they get upgraded picks in this draft. Great job of doing all they could.

Sweeney wants to bring in 'his' guys.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Hopefully Rask is next, he deserves better.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

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!

BOS gives up:
Seguin
Hamilton
Kessel

BOS gets:
L.Ericksson
Reilly Smith
#15 pick overall 2015
2 2nd Rd picks 2015

 

[MillarWithASave]

Total steal for the Flames. What is Boston thinking

I'm guessing the #2 or #3 pick.

What do you mean? You trade Loui, Lucic, or Krecji before Hamilton. This is so bad for them

they can't get the 2nd from the sabres, but yeah, hanifin will be a bruin

This seems very much like self-harm, haha.

What the hell is Boston thinking.

rask for 11th + 2x 3rds

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

But even if they get Hanifin, they had long term control over a proven young stud. This just makes no sense.

They got hosed.

 

[Gentle Man]

Quick Boston is drunk.

Olsen for Lucic. Go!

haha i know but i suppose they have a massive ***** for the boston collage d-man and mabye they're kickin of a proper sabres-style rebuild

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

This trade is '04-'10 Panthers trades bad

In all fairness they traded Kessel to get Seguin and Hamilton, so you can't include him.

Still looks bad...



More Boston trades please!

 

[SoupyFIN]

rask for 11th + 2x 3rds

I'd do that easily if we didn't have Lu.

But even if they get Hanifin, they had long term control over a proven young stud. This just makes no sense.

Main point being that Hamilton was the only young guy they had, there's no one else on the pipeline.

Im not even sure the Coyotes would trade the 3rd overall for pick 14 and 15. By 14 all the young studs will be gone? Why trade quality for quantity. And even if Boston includes a roster player, which roster would you add that doesn't have a NTC and it willing to waive it for Arizona?

Bruins can thank Chiarelli for this situation. Hamilton wanted too much money, so they had to move him. Moving Soderberg was smart, but losing Hamilton weakens their core. Still, I don't agree with this trade if I'm a Boston fan.

Good post, great quote, a big win for the Panthers!

Nope.

nah bruins + major piece.
haha man idk . hanifin to boston and they kick off a rebuild just makes too much sense.

who would have thought hamilton would get traded to the flames for picks? it draft day, let the fantasy run wiiiiiild, anything's possible ;D

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Man I don't want to laugh too hard because if Florida gets Talbot I'll be the same way, but if you want to kill 30 min read the Bruins board

Explain why? There are 6 players I would move before him to free up space.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Nope.

I'd assume that means that Boston wasn't willing to trade with the teams (within the conference, more than likely) that offered those higher picks, or/and wanted to include salary going back to Boston.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Nope.

I am not disputing that this trade was better than losing him to offersheet, I'm disputing this trade because they should have moved a different player to create space for his salary
