Minor trade?

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I read on the Isles fansite that Washington traded F Chris Bourque to Boston for F Zach Hamil.

 

[SLY]

Yep.

Bruins trade Zach Hamill to Washington for Chris Bourque - CBSSports.com

 

[SLY]

I like this trade.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I like this trade.

Yeah I think the Bruins got the better player. The Caps must want depth at Center.

Sorry B's fans but Chris Bourque may be the worst hockey player currently alive.

Trading a dead raccoon for him would have been an overpayment.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Bourque is terrible.

Enjoy.

I think Phil Bourque would have been a better acquisition for Boston...

 

[DevilishWon]

You were right....that is a very minor trade, both players belong in the ECHL

 

[SLY]

I just know Hamill sucks, thats why I said I liked it, lol... No idea how good Borque is.

he got his hockey sense from his mom's side of the family.

Bourque is a good player in the AHL. That's about all he will be though

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Much has been expected of Hamil after all he was a high 1st round pick. Up to this point he's been a bust.

 

[ritari330]

I'll take the chance with him over Bourque who will be nothing but an AHL star. I'm sure Hershey isn't really happy with this.

 

[SLY]

Meh, Hamill was going nowhere in our organization, and honestly he can't really lure in anything good, so, again, I am happy with the trade. Maybe Bourque can summon the spirit of his father in Boston.

Haha! /Rep

The only thing that Bourque really has is some speed. He's not going to break the top-6 in the NHL. It'll be some time before he can challenge for the B's 4th line.

If the significance of this trade is measured in length of words then I would say it was a

I actually thought that all trading was frozen until after the playoffs.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

You're allowed to trade during the playoffs, but only if the players are crappy.
