Bruins trade Hamilton to Calgary, Lucic to LA

I wonder if Boston is trying to get a package of picks together to go after Hanifin?  Maybe Hamilton's contract demands were too rich for Arizona's liking, so they couldn't make a deal that way?
 
ARI takes Strome/Marner.

We trade #4 (Hanifin) to BOS for #15, #16, 2016 1st, 2017 1st, both CGY 2nds and all BOS 2nds (including CGY's) this year and next.

That'd be funny anyway.
 
Seems like a disappointing return, but, at the same time, if this happens:

Real_ESPNLeBrun: on Hamilton deal, Calgary reached out to Boston right after season ended. Both teams kept in touch. Talk got heated last 2 days

Boston would have 3 consecutive picks in the middle of the 1st round. In this draft, that could be part of a promising future for them.
 
reallisa: LAK source says Lucic deal is done

FriedgeHNIC: Martin Jones and 13th pick are part of deal. Not sure if anything else.

It's expected to be for LA 1st rounder (13th overall) and prospects. Boston now has the 13th, 14th, and 15th overall draft picks.
 
That's certainly aggressive from Boston's new brain trust.

I guess nobody would be willing to take on Chara given the age, injuries and $$$ amount he brings.
 
Real_ESPNLeBrun: So believe the Lucic trade is for Martin Jones, a prospect and 13th overall pick.

FriedgeHNIC: I believe the prospect is Colin Miller, who had a great playoff for AHL Manchester.

I laughed at this.
 
Interesting to see what LA does now. They're in tight against the cap. They could make it work with a couple guys at the league minimum, but that would basically mean their offseason is already over.

Martin Jones: I hate being stuck behind an all-star on a long term deal.
Agent: You just got traded.
Jones: Awesome! Where to?
Agent: Um...
 
Real_ESPNLeBrun: The Bruins retained close to half of Lucic's cap hit/salary in order to make trade work with the cap-strung Kings

Guess that answers that.

Hmm...not sure if that impacts the Kessel deal or not.

The Bruins turned Kessel, Peverley, and Ryan Button into a 1st, two seconds, Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith, Joseph Morrow, and Zack Phillips.

wow
 
In the last decade, the Bruins have traded Thornton, Kessel, Seguin and Hamilton. That's 4 elite calibre players (well, in Hamilton's case, potentially elite) - more than a lot of teams have had in that stretch. And, other than the Kessel deal, the returns on all the trades were very disappointing.
