When you lay it out like that, that's pretty darn good.

If you take the Hamilton trade out it looks even better.

I wonder now, could keeping Opera Claude around have been to waste another season and bring in his own guy next year when he expects his team to begin competing again?

I guess they cant just announce "hey we are re-building"

They can...it's just not very good for sales

When you also look at it that the Bruins wasted those first round picks on guys that were way off the board, it might not look as great in the future

His drafting stinks and it won't matter how many assets and picks he gets as long as he keeps drafting questionable talents when it's not warranted

You mean beer and pretzel sales, correct?

We won't know for a while of this is true but I agree.

Also, there is no way he couldn't have gotten a better return on Hamilton.

I think he did pretty well on Lucic though. I think that guy's time has come and gone.

Hey, he totally Jones it sending a goalie to that Nintendo franchise earlier today.

/apologies to Slim and filo, they know I'm kidding.

I mean, I'm amongst the chorus of "those were bad picks" people, but who the fuck knows when it comes to prospects.

Do they sell pizza in Boston?

Edmonton offered him a better return; he/they rejected it out of spite.

Yeah that was horrible on the Dougie Hamilton front - CBJ was willing and ready to get something done - they could have gotten tangible assets to help them now and get a real nice pick(could have gotten Werenski) but for whatever reason they didn't do that

I think a change of scenery could help Milan Lucic and LA is probably a good fit because of the style they play and he'll get a chance to play with Kopi and Gabby - and he's only 27 so I wouldn't count him out yet - it was a solid return for Boston but I think it can help the Kings too if they use him properly

That's why I said it "might not" look as great in the future - it could be good but right now if I had to put a bet on, I wouldn't bet for it
