The Boston Bruins have traded defenceman Dougie Hamilton to the Calgary Flames.
In return for the Hamilton, the Bruins received Calgary's first-round pick (15th overall) and two second-round picks (45th and 52nd overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft.

I hope they trade Lucic.
There will be no tanking in Boston.
Tank on!
Matt Larkin: “The 15th overall pick and two seconds for Dougie Hamilton. An unmitigated disaster for Boston. Hamilton was the franchise’s pillar.”

I agree.
I can't find a Bruins fan that is supporting the trade.
All I can think of was that the Oilers were going to make an offer to Hamilton after this draft that the Bruins would not match that would give the Bruins a 2016 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks. So the Bruins did this to get this year picks.
If they sign Lucic, then the cavemen have taken over Boston's management to build a slower tougher team that despite current trends they believe can physically beat up on teams. Cavemen believe Hamilton was too soft. There are a lot of Bruins fans who want to see MMA on ice rather than hockey.
I think that's a tanktastic trade!
Tanktacular in fact!

TSN's Darren Dreger noted on his Twitter feed that the L.A. Kings are interested in Lucic. BUT...Boston's asking price is steep. As in multiple prospects steep. (Further add: L.A.'s close to getting Lucic. A first round pick & prospects, according to Dreger's source.)

Lucic is a shell of his former self, Great move for Boston!!
The Bruins are doing the right thing.. They were getting further away from being a cup contender

That's the problem. He no longer plays reckless and plays it safe like his buddy Horton did.
That's fine if he was willing to settle for $5M per year but he wants over $7M so he can continue to coast like he did the past 2 years.
For those calling this a tank, the tickets in Boston are very expensive these days. The team tanks and the place will be empty. There are other things to do in Boston in the winter.
These moves are to get their cap in order.
If they trade Krejek, Bergeron or Rask, then you can call it a tank.
Tanksalot, boston!
And now we can rip into Boston for tanking.
The Chowds' tears will be delicious for us Western New Yorkers. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If the Bruins could trade into the Top 10 without giving up any of the 1st round picks they acquired today it is realistic for them to take Mathew Barzal..Travis Konecny and Oliver Kylington.. All small players though.. I hope the Bruins take Paul Bittner and Brandon Carlo lol
