TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Maybe they trade all three to move up to #1 and pick Eichel. :P Just for this, I'm going to find a way to work in a "Gerbe is a center" joke before the night is over.

Robviously Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Jonathan Willis @JonathanWillis 4s5 seconds ago If the #Flames seriously got Hamilton for the No. 15, No. 45 and No. 52 selections, it's an utter disaster for the #Bruins Seriously. Ding ######, the Bruins are dead. Edit: And I really wish we'd have had the ammunition to beat that offer. We easily could have with #21 still in the fold, I think. Another reason not to rush to make the Lehner trade first thing this morning. We probably could have Dougie Hamilton right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 What a terrible trade for the Bruins. I would've traded 21, 31, and Foligno for Hamilton all day every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That so called dropoff in talent that people keep mentioning is somewhere between 15 and 21 though, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 That so called dropoff in talent that people keep mentioning is somewhere between 15 and 21 though, isn't it? Yes. But I, and I'm assuming Robviously, are thinking we could have made a better offer than two mid-late 2nds to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 That so called dropoff in talent that people keep mentioning is somewhere between 15 and 21 though, isn't it? True, but maybe we throw in one more asset and get it done. Dougie Hamilton is the type of player you absolutely overpay for if you can get him.

Does the Sabres #21 + #31 + #51 beat that? I don't think so, but it is in the ballpark. We'd have to add a young dman or prospect. I'd much rather have Dougie Hamilton than Lehner (even though I like Lehner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have Dougie Hamilton than Lehner (even though I like Lehner) I'd put in 21 + 31 + 51 + McCabe. If I'm Boston that's more appealing than pure picks, even if the 1st rounder is a bit better. We'd add a more valuable 2nd rounder and a prospect with a couple years development.

Dougie Hamilton is the type of player you absolutely overpay for if you can get him. My only thought is that the Flames being in the west may have factored in. Doubt they would trade him in division even if we had the same package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but maybe we throw in one more asset and get it done. Dougie Hamilton is the type of player you absolutely overpay for if you can get him. But if they're dead set on someone they have going at, say 16th overall, there's not much we can do to help with that. They probably don't have the time to make one deal and then turn around and make another one to improve on that 21st pick. Too much uncertainty there.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 We don't need Dougie Hamilton though. Think compound deals here. If we acquire Hamilton purely for futures, that makes dealing somebody like Bogosian in an O'Reilly deal infinitely more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) My only thought is that the Flames being in the west may have factored in. Doubt they would trade him in division even if we had the same package. Just wanted to say this, we would have never gotten him, bruins would never have given him to a division rival.

There's no way they're banking on somebody being there at 16 so hard as to turn down a better deal before the draft begins. Actually, wait, they appear to be inept...so maybe they would.
