Twitter reaction: Bruins deal Hamilton to Flames

"I'm excited to have a new journey in my life and a new opportunity." – Hamilton

— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) June 26, 2015

If this is step one in two-stage deal, it's going to calm a lot of people down. If this is it, then twitter trolling may bring down the web.

Don Sweeney: "We extended Dougie a very significant contract offer and it didn't lead us where I thought it would."

Per a source, Edmonton offered B's 16th, 33rd & 57th picks in this draft, but Boston wanted Darnell Nurse as part of the package for DH27

Brad Treliving and agent J.P. Barry play to talk about a contract for Dougie Hamilton tonight.

The Bruins know it's too late to tank for McDavid, right?

I was going to text Dougie Hamilton and welcome him to Calgary but I don't have his number so I can't right now.

The #bruins have now traded both first-round picks from the Phil Kessel trade.

— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) June 26, 2015

You never know how trades turn out for picks but have to like the certainty CGY receives back in Hamilton. More than just great prospect.

Similar, not identical, to offer sheet. First, second, and third round is the offer sheet compensation. #Flames give up first and 2 seconds.

— Pat Steinberg (@Fan960Steinberg) June 26, 2015

This is the most one-sided trade the Calgary Flames have ever made involving a player named "Dougie".

#Bruins current assets from Phil Kessel trade (lineage) Loui Eriksson Reilly Smith Zack Phillips Joe Morrow 1st-rd & Two 2nd-rd picks in '15

Flames D today is Giordano, Brody, Russell, Wideman, Hamilton, Engelland. Not bad.

— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) June 26, 2015

While I like B's stance that they're no longer ATM machine for player contracts, I can't believe they couldn't get a better return for DH27

— Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) June 26, 2015

Rival GM: "They wanted much more from us."

— Fluto Shinzawa (@GlobeFluto) June 26, 2015

Don Sweeney just got eaten alive. No other way to put it. And a lot of jealous GMs wondering why they missed out, I bet.

— David Staples (@dstaples) June 26, 2015

One source has Hamilton's ask at $5.5 million per.

Marriage equality, Dougie Hamilton to Calgary, saw a photo of an ice cream cone made out of a cookie….. pic.twitter.com/v1juxDioue

If Boston doesn't move up and when I say move up… I mean 3…. This is NOT good.

— Matthew Barnaby (@MattBarnaby3636) June 26, 2015

The only way Treliving could've made more of a splash is if he announced Dougie Hamilton deal not wearing shoes.

— George Johnson (@GeorgejohnsonCH) June 26, 2015

Sources for both the club and the player say it will not be a problem for Hamilton to sign long term deal in Calgary.

— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) June 26, 2015

Boychuk and Hamilton gone within 10 months, and they're both top-15 RD. We've simply never seen salary cap mismanagement of this magnitude.

This feels like… dad gave his son the keys to the Lincoln Continental, said "you're ready to drive," and son wrecked it on his first ride.

— Matt Larkin (@THNMattLarkin) June 26, 2015

In conversation with Dougie Hamilton, #Flames captain Mark Giordano has already called to welcome him to Calgary.

— Aaron Vickers (@AAVickers) June 26, 2015

Yeah, the Bruins are really good at getting worse and worse

Brad Treliving says he "still has phone battery left" and confirms that he's still pursuing a goalie.
