Free agency 2015 - The day where nothing makes sense and the money don't matter.

I think it's fair to say the return for Eddie going to Carolina is lacking...

 

[Cobiemonster]

Didn't Ottawa also get a 1st for Lenher?

Yep and that's because they did it at draft night - teams like the Rangers and Canucks should have dealt those guys sooner instead of having their thumbs stuck up their ass

 

[dash]

Also, Milan Lucic fetched a better return than Dougie Hamilton - That's unexpected.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

That is one hell of a return for Lucic.

 

[BGDave]

Maybe Sweeney cant draft, but his trades are pretty decent.

Hell, Griffin Reinhart returned almost as much as Hamilton!

 

[Cobiemonster]

That is one hell of a return for Lucic.

I know they needed a d-man with one of their draft picks and they took one at 13 but I wasn't a big fan of the pick, still early though

But now they're going to really have to fill that offensive hole and presence and their offense blows as it is

Yeah, I'm still not understanding what the end-game is here for Boston but they do have two first rounders now next season so maybe those are being moved for offensive help? That or they keep dumping assets and are looking more toward a 2-3 year rebuild.

Either way, at least one Atlantic Division team is making trades...

The sharks first rounder to boston isnt lottery protected either

And top 3 picks are awarded via lottery starting next season.

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Calgary Flames and newly acquired d-man Dougie Hamilton are closing in on a multi-year extension. #TSN

update:

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Sounds like a 6 yr extension coming in Calgary for Hamilton. #TSN

Well Edmonton has one of those three locked down, so it's basically a two out of 13 chance that pick falls into the lottery winner category.

/assuming the Sharks miss the playoffs again that is

With that lawsuit going on, I wouldn't want to touch Ribeiro with a 20 foot pole.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Agreed.

 

[dash]

Well, Mike Ribeiro remains a Predator. Makes sense to me.

 

[BF4L]

I was fine to blow it up in Boston but not very much of this to me anyways makes much sense. I mean Zac Rinaldo???? Cheapshot untalented goon.

If you are gonna blow it up then blow it all up and rebuild.

Don Sweeney says Bruins arent rebuilding, defends trades | Puck Daddy - Yahoo Sports

Apparently Hamilton's deal is under $6 mil AAV.

Not quite the $7.5 million some Boston fans were adamant he was demanding...
